  Country Club Tournament - St. Andrews

  Alright it was from the white tees, but I'm starting to impress myself, and I don't impress easy.

  Note the ugly bogey on 11.

  Since I am only about $9100 behind BolloxinBruges and $14800 behind AvatarLee in career earnings, I think these guys had better start worrying

  Way to go Sean! Beauty. I shot 58 at Kiawah and was so very jazzed! Great round!

  I shot another good round in a ReadyGo. When I came back to Main Menu, I noticed I had moved up to legend.

  So I thought let's see what all the fuss is about re Championship tees. So I played Kiawah Back 9.

  WTF????

  Where did those tee boxes come from and in some cases how are they on the screen.

  17th - now 220yds and scary again.

  18th - Good drive off tee. 230yds left. That used to be about 160yds.

  etc.

  Time to discard one of my 3 wedges and bring back the extra fairway wood.

  It's a whole different kettle of scenarios. Shot -3 with no bogies

  Yeah Kiawah is a different course.  Having played it many times in real golf,  I was always telling my WGT friends that this course wasn't this easy.  I mentioned that the tees we were on where the tees that I play when I am there (I'm mid 50's and have a handicap of around 5) and kept saying they can move them way back.  Standing on # 13 you realize what a tough shot it is from over there and 17 well I play a draw and with a wind off the ocean, you start it out about 25 feet right of the green.  Kiawah actually can stretch back to 7900 yards and is going to host the PGA, I think in 2014, be interesting to see where they have the tees and the greens can be extremely fast.

  Well done Sean on scoring a sub 60, it's a wonderful feeling. I chased my first one for ten months and it became a real monkey on my back that I couldn't shake off. Thankfully I got mine and a few others before the changes otherwise I doubt I ever would.
