Thanks Russ! Yes, you guys certainly did show me how it should be done.
Below are the details of my round... After missing good birdie chances first 3 holes I thought I'd blown it, but then got a real stretch of absurd luck sinking 21ft, 47ft, and 34ft putts in a row on #5-7. I was also lucky on #13 with a long one, and on #16 to get close with an approach from the rough. The birdie on #6 was truly absurd (worth looking at those replays)!
Corwyn:Full details tomorrow, after some sleep...

#1 R : 16@200, short on 2nd 3yds and misread 9ft curler, so close PAR
#2 R : 19@445 Nice wind! almost ding found good spot 6yds short L but just too high and hard on 17ft try PAR
#3 F : 18@1000 nice deliberate bounce-on shot to 2yds , but pulled easy 5ft putt, aargh PAR
#4 R : 19@10 on but well short nice dinged 150scale putt but didn't break as expected from 32ft PAR
#5 L : 13@ 830? overshot but lucky to stay on green 21ft away and just got lip-in with putt that always threatened to drop away BIRDIE
#6 F : 17@1030 Tailwind not so helpful here with front pin; mishit came up short on 2nd and had no shot, tried to bounce on left but went far too close to water and got lucky then unlucky silly bounce off rocks that could have gone anywhere (!), then OMG made 47ft putt from fringe wow - somewhat unusual way to make BIRDIE
#7 R : 14@1230 pulled tee shot badly, it made top level but miles away; however, sunk 34ft putt (and didn't deserve to, given slight push) BIRDIE
#8 L : 17@1200 came up short trying roll round, poor putt from 18ft big curler PAR
#9 L : 18@600 never in good place, got on with 170 but 7yds long, and not nearly enough break allowed with 25ft putt, had to make 3.7ft curler save PAR
#10 L : 17@145 thought I had tee shot dead on but came up way short into severe sidehill lie rough on a ding! pitch escape not too bad for distance but misjudged slope, was lucky to find a spot with fairly straight fast 9ft downhiller for a crucial save, phew PAR
#11 L : 17@1200 Nice wind! 3w made it on but 11yds away great try from 33ft nearly came back enough PAR
#12 L : 17@1200 3W tee shot to middle, nice dinged 2nd into heart of green no way to go for pin with that wind, very nice lag (super hard with that ridge) and made 2.6ft save PAR
#13 R : 13@1200 Nasty tailwind with right pin; dinged and cleared bunker (just) but still went 141 3yds long, but had aimed left in this case for safety and got the reward with a beauty 21ft curler BIRDIE
#14 F : 18@900 nasty wind but got 2nd on with 180ding pin high miles away; slight push on 30ft try, but happy to make PAR
#15 L : 16@115 flirted with left rough off tee, wrong club with 2nd 170 97% flew through (maybe found downslope instead of anticipated uphill landing?), and then nearly off the green with impossible flop, close with 23ft par save try but deserved to drop a shot after poor percentage play with approach BOGEY
#16 F : 15@1215, thought I could't reach rough or bunkers and messed up 2nd shot lay-up doh! finding right-side rough, but oh ya beauty! 3rd shot intentional try for bounce from left and came out perfect through fringe to 1ft to 1.3ft BIRDIE
#17 L : 13@1030 3W drived, then dinged 160 to centre of green and stayed on low level, lag from 38ft went 5ft past, but made 5ft save PAR
#18 F : 14@700, played long and safely on with 2nd (more interested in getting the GIR than getting close, and wanted to take close part of lake more out of play); didn't allow enough break with birdie try but sunk 3.3ft putt for the 67 PAR
