    Another question - why did Sebicu hit deliberately in the rough - I'm fascinated ???

    Only he can answer that, but it just my guess with the high winds it could have given him a better angle at the pin. And we don't know what holes, how far from the green he was when he was in the rough or what the % was.

    Well i hope he answers, he said to me, he is not a forum person, but lets hope.

    My view is in the rough u are less likely to get a crazy lie, and some holes on the back it is hard to avoid on the fairway. But with 40-50% most everywhere, if not worse it is a hard gamble.

    When we played , on the back the short Par4 downhill with water across the front about 90 yards from pin, he hit first and went for the green. came up 40 yards short but dry. He had the R1, but I did the same and came up 50 yards short, would never have occurred to me to do that, we both birdied.

    Seb is a class act.

     

    Wes...I am ready, see me green and we play OK

    Thank you sebicu for giving back, now you folks decide on what that 1000 credits should go towards.

    Most 2nd round birdies in either bracket?

    How about most birdies in Round 3 where the conditions are not yet known?

    fmagnets and I just got our 2rd round played. Boy did we have a blast. If he had found the groove on a couple of putts he would have shot in the 50's. We did play a combined better ball 57. It was rather interesting to be playing from such forward tees. I tried playing with the 3 hybrid instead of my 3 wood just to see what happened. It turned out pretty good I suppose

    fmagnets=62..... CerinoDevoti=61

    The cards, fairway and green shots just because I looked so sporty in the duds I wanted to be seen in them twice. Also, the stats so Corwyn can drool over them. :)

    Good Luck to everyone in round 2. Keep smiling through the pain. :)

    Thanks to CD for a fun game. I'm glad me shanking putts left, right, and (sadly not) centre didn't putt him off his stride. An awesome putting display by him.

    Had a nice round with John, started out hot and birdied the first 4 holes, but a metered tee shot on 8 that dribbled off the tee cost me a shot, and really got me outa the mindset that i had been in for the first 7 holes, coulda been much better rounds for the both of us but we had fun anyway

    Thanks for posting Wes, I got distracted by domestic things.

    It was terrific play from you. Had 64 or better written all over it. But all those 2 putts let you down.

    Here are the stats

     

     

    Steve, if I get booted into the lower bracket, I'm not sure if that happens, but anyway I will still play.
