  Another fun round, on first hole my putt got to 6 inches past hole for bird, my next putt was 12 feet, i got that within a foot, my next putt was 9 feet which i left 2 inches short, and i managed to sink the 8 footer for a double bogey.The par 3 4th hole i managed to get the ball within 2 feet on 3 occasions in fact i got the ball on the green 3 times here before flopping it to 2 inches to leave a nice tap in for triple bogey.

  Lethal conditions but fun thank you.

  UL's are indeed fun - 'null$' greens are masochistic and no fun whatsoever IMO.

  Oh I dunno Johnny, they do have their advantages.  This shot led to, I think, my first ever birdie with this pin position.

  And a bad misjudgement of the uneven lie was saved by the insane green speed here.

  This worked out quite nicely too.

  The rest of the round was pretty poor though, I have to be honest.  I've played about 4 rounds on UL before this and really had no idea how much to allow.

  Somehow I'm currently in 10th place though.  Maybe only 10 players have posted a 3rd round score so far.

  +17 after 12 holes on the strength of TWO "maximum shots reached"(#1 & #12) lol.......sad thing is, I doubt another 50 shots on either would've helped.  Finally found a little rhythm after that and birdied 5 of the next 6 holes to finish up at +12. 

  Good luck all.

  I get the feeling that Uneven lies is beyond me !!

  5 pars and 13 woes gave me a 91 with 42 putts, mainly because I could get nowhere near on approaches.

  Won't stop me playing though !!

  Just never got a feel for the green speed on this one.  Left myself with too many uphill or downhill putts to get any confidence on green speed.

  +5 after 7 holes and that included a bird on the par 5 hole. One under for the last 11 holes is pretty good. Like I said earlier, breaking 80 is a good score for this round.
