  I really wish I could have my front 9 of the championship round back. Shot a 38 on the front bogeying the first 3 holes (birdied 4 and then bogied 9) and then came back with a 29 on the back 9 (parring 15, 16 and 18). That's about right though haha

  I think they should push the tees up on 9 to the master tees, and I think that actually might bring in a higher score, but also allow for the possible birdie.  At the current length I think we all just give it going for the green, there is no reward for making it on, so we lay up and go far par.  Just 20 yards shorter would leave a long but higher lofted shot that might allow someone to take the risk.

  I personally blew it. I shot a 62 in qualifying and had been shooting 62-65 consistently as practice. I waited until the last day to post my first round, the "16th", and it was too late to get in. I'm an idiot. I needed to post on the 15th.

  That was a better round by Bollie than most of you could possibly know. As most of you know wgt crashed last night. BB was in the the middle of his 2nd round, and had to sweat it out for well over an hour to continue. All the while thinking his round might have been lost, or dq'd. Thanks BB for the hole by hole update in irc, was very stressful to witness this. A great round considering all the crazy stuff going on. Awesome job bud, and a great showing by a number of deviations. Proud to be a member of a great group of players and better group of guys and gals. JB
