  you know...

   

  I had left pin on #1 and wicked wind so ended up 25ft short, hit and it went 11ft long, bogey...  

  on #2, I had crap crap lie and aimed for it and it didn't move... I was like 50ft left and long... barely saved par.. from them on I played very well but also had decent lies and 2 shots here I had bad lies, I hit inside 4ft.

  I lipped 8 for birdie :( and on #7 I had horrible lie, clubbed 3 up and ended up on short end of the hump. But, I knew it didn't move much so hit it and got to 2ft to save par.

  Worst was #12 I had 30tail, choked and ended up 60ft long... how do u calculate it?  No clue, so I hit for 90power and it just lipped (so lucky) but I missed birdie coming back.

  I think I birdied the rest except for #17 since lie didn't let me get to the green.

  The biggest difference for me this round was making MANY 8-14fters. I dinged 80% of my putts, which is what allowed me to aim and ram them in.

  I also wasn't nervous as first tournament, where adrenaline almost took me hehe.

  LOL, first time I see you so exited mate. I guess the UL tournes are, as enjoyable for you, as they are for me too....good for us :-)

  took me 1st 4 holes to sort it out

  Played the whole round and still couldn't really sort it out, lol. I hate slow greens from the bottom of my heart. If it's of any assistance to anyone, 50 feet of power goes around 30 feet. Can't wait for the lightnig fast round 3, I found round 1 speed much easier to putt on (although I fear I might regret saying this, lol). A couple of bogeys (#4 and #17) and 4 or 5 15 footers missing by inches killed my round and left me on 68. I loved every minute of it though.

  Cheers, Matt

  Another interesting tourney during holidays. Impossible to partecipate. Ty WGT...

  Curious .. why couldn't you participate ?   You played on 1/1 and 1/2 .. that was the dates of the first round.   You played on 1/3 .. that's when round 2 started.   I'm just wondering if I'm missing something.

   

  What are u talking about?!? I played the 1st and 2nd round of the 1st tourney and then I couldn't play it anymore, as well as starting the 2nd tourney.  Bye

  Took me several putts to finally figure out a reasonable adjustment for the green speed.

  1st hole put ball inside 3ft for an easy bird using about 6ft power. 2nd hole was a long down hill putt and took me 5 putts to put it in for a triple bogey. At least learned something on those 5 putts and finished with 8 more birds and no more 3+ putts.

  These rounds are fun. Thank you iconian for running these.

  x 100!!!.....not new for me to make a mess with slow greens, I always do. Slow greens are boring and mostly annoying.

  The challenge are most interesting thing about the tournament are the super fast greens.

  Thought it sounded like you couldn't play ... since you said it was impossible.   That's all.  Guess I misread your note and intent.  Be good.

  Well that was a bit of an eye-opener!

  5 putted the first green but not too bad after that, considering :)

  all good fun, very enjoyable
