    I just finished my own R1 at Olympic, which was a pretty solid effort with what I found to be a challenging setup. 

    I made a couple of clumsy shots that were punished, but took good advantage of most of the easier holes. A 68 (-2) that could have even been a couple better.

    Tale of the tape... (with wind power and direction indicated after each hole number):

    #1 4@730 pushed t shot into rough doh! 20-25, 2nd 171 >135, decent 3rd to 2yds , and dinged 7ft putt dead center PAR

    #2 5@1230 dingD >151, good bounce-on shot from big sidehill lie, 61ft, dinged lag but too hard and left 5ft, early click on 5ft downhill curler but it worked! PAR 

    #3 4@530 hit 205 but missed late a hair and in trouble off green, and almost holed out from 40-50 just short PAR

    #4 5@430 >170 after t shot, and hit great 190 bounce-on shot below hole, OMG so close with 23ft putt, just hanging on the right lip  PAR

    #5  5@12 D >210 pushed 2nd a little and lost distance, 14yds short, pulled flop shot which might have been close to 1yd below and sunk 3.3ft curler PAR

    #6  4@12 dinged drive but took off right, deserved luck of it bouncing out but still lost lot of distance 228>, but pushed attempted punch 3W and ended up in right rough, very bad result!, and hit great recovery 82% fbs50 to 1yd below with 5yd roll-out , bad mishit on putt but just caught edge and fell in, phew! quite the escape of a PAR

    #7 7@1130 dingD >70 I like to play a punch roll-up shot for the approach, which I managed here but still a little short and left , dinged the 10ft putt and had just right pace to take 2nd break back and drop in, phew!  BIRDIE

    #8 3@130 awful mishit into right bunker damn! , got it out from nasty lie with 59punch but still 6yds short, dinged 18ft curler but just gave it too much break. Annoyed to give stroke back right away.  BOGEY

    #9  5@1145 pulled D and lucky to hold fairway 191> bounced it onto green with 3H, excellent 31ft dinged putt but just too high  PAR

    #10  4@145 dingedD >151 dinged 2nd ts 150 to try and bounce on but went long, back of green 17yds!, excellent lag 1ft short PAR

    #11  7@3 decentD >178 dinged3W but way long, good speed on 31ft putt but not high enough, 2.7ft save PAR

    #12 7@730 175> and got a cracking 3H to bounce on and roll close, woo hoo! sunk 2.3ft putt BIRDIE

    #13 2@12 terrible late click (again with the poor par 3 tee shot, aarghh!) and bounced out of front rough way through back, darn!, pretty good 1/2ts 22 pitch to leave 3yds below but mishit slightly (was riskier line) so lucky, and sank tricky 9.3ft curler, yes!  very relieved to walk away from that hole with PAR

    #14 4@130 dingD >158 and got big sidehill lie but pushed 2nd badly into big trouble in bunker!, tried massive left-aim escape, very hard to aim but ended up flying green and into next bunker, oops! and found 60-70 bunker lie! excellent out from there to 5ft and solid ding putt for BOGEY

    #15 8@130 dinged 97% 125fbs as good as one could hit to kill pace into left side slopes, still 4yds long, dinged 13ft putt and just had enough pace to catch left-edge, super putt for bonus on tough hole  BIRDIE

    #16 2@12 good D >370 >>184 pushed 3rd into bunker darn! and another awful big sidehill 30-40 bunker lie! reasonable escape from there to 11ft past and sunk the 11ft putt, a little luckily missing ding against slope PAR

    #17  6@12 dingD >252 but dinged 2nd misjudged and went too far right into rough, doh! >69, and dinged a beauty to 1yd 94% 90fbs out of 20-25% rough but not too bad a sidehill lie from there and made 2ft putt for BIRDIE

    #18 6@730 goodD >93 dinged 2nd onto green, a little left but that held it using slope and kept it on lower tier, 16ft putt, but didn't give enough break to 16ft downhiller boo :(  2ft left for PAR

    Hi

    I accidently posted my screenshots for Oympic Club in the Merion Tough-It-Out thread.

    Hope that is ok otherwise I'll have to try and copy it and paste it here.

    Olympic rd 2 70

    After such a bad first round, I couldn't be bothered with any thinking or practicing so just went straight out and whizzed round - naturally a much better score was the result. Just one bad 2nd on the 17th put me out of position and spoilt an otherwise decent score. Stats and 39m38s, and clubs on return to the game client at the end of the vid.

    Thanks Corwyn, and well done to all the players shooting good scores in both TIO events.
