    Well, I never have been more nervous about a round, but after being -4 through 4, then -5 through 5, then -6 through 6, then minus 7 through 8 my heart was pounding.  28 on the front after salvaging a flop shot to 6ft for par on 9.  More impressed in my mind is not hitting a fairway after the 3rd hole.

    So I walked away for a few minutes to calm myself down, yes a qualifier got me that excited.  And the back was nothing like the front.  I had 1 putt on the front under 6ft, the rest were well read and still all luck many down hill.  So go to the 10th, hit a blistering drive leaving 147 to hole, hit 145 club, full backspin as it was down wind and downhill shot, and got metered.  Same with next hole, easy hole, bad meter skip, approach into the bunker, managed par.  Got some strokes back, got it to -9 until 15 when I rolled into the bunker and managed a completely BS 40-50% lie from 207.  Took me 4 shots to get onto the green and managed a 10ft downhill 4inch putt for bogey.  Back to -8, 17 and 18 got completely poned.  Both putts under 10ft, perfect read, both 1 inch uphill, almost straight, went aggressive with them playing 2 extra ft of speed and both putts held on the lip.  Could of have had a 60, dreamed of 59, but alas a 62 which I am proud of, just a little dissapointed it should have been lower.

    Congrats, very impressive.  And when looking back we always think they could have been lower.  Good luck!

    Cheers

    Neil-When you post your cards set the value in the width box to 450. It's right below where you paste the pic url. Your whole card will show up then. Now let's see the 28 on the back!  :-D

    I usually chop it before posting so you dont have such a huge picture.  28 on the back, i wish, I should have easily done 31 though.

    Congrats on a great round.

    I shot a 29 on the front 9 yesterday, and then threw away 4 shots on the back 9. Maybe I should have walked away after the front 9 like you did, to get calm again.

    Just shot a 69, in which I hit 4 birdies, which just happened to all be on the 3 par holes. I'm not usually that great at getting birdies on par 3's, so to do all 4 on this course was like a miracle to me. Shame a made mess of a 3 other holes as I so want better than the 68 I'm currently sporting as my best score.

    I had a 60 today (see my profile for the scorecard). 31-29. I only wish I'd saved that for the Single Play :)

    I had 28 on the front a couple days ago before blowing up on the back.
