I will address the Elephant in the room straight up........ no I didn't have one.
Its a ******* long way from my place. 1Hr; 35Mins. In light traffic. 7.30 am tee time. Out of bed 4.30am Sunday, left home at 5.15am.
Opening few holes, gentle, even friendly. The first thing that strikes me is the size of the greens. They are massive. A couple of bogey's to start, should have made par out of one of them.
3rd hole - long par 3 to a massive 2 tiered green. One of the guys in my group has a rangefinder. Pin set on top tier, its 207 to the flag!
4th hole, another par 3 a bit more reasonable at 137 from the Blue markers.
5th hole 348M par 4. I find both fairway & green in reg for a par. 6th hole bogey. Not much to report on holes 7, 8 & 9.... not many points that's for sure. A few poor swings kreeping in though. So far hardly a breathe of wind. A few holes, the black championship tees are well behind where we are playing from. So it's not playing all that long. Typical resort type golf.
Things change on the back 9. Wind picks up & the course gets considerably harder. The par 4 - 15th hole, the #1 rated hole in particular. Hit off from an elevated tee (great ocean views, and of the National course next door), to a fairway sloping left to right. Then an uphill approach that has to be seen to believe it. What a hole. Only 318M but plays so much harder than that. The last 3 holes no scores recorded. I am hitting a few good shots, but by this stage cannot string 2 good, or even Ok shots together.
So while I take out the NAGA on the day, I still enjoyed the round, and hit a few decent shots along the way.
Just have to keep working on the game, it will come back.

Back 9 flaggy
Took driver out
Changed over putters to a mallet style that I haven't used in 4yes.
Took 6i off tee aside from 2 par 3s.
Beautiful baby draws.
7w did its job, used it a few times for 2nd shots. Did use it on the 14th which was 168m par 3
Putting was just so-so.
18points
