Yeah, I hadn’t played that course either. Just got back from flying (this is what a line check looks like…haha…) and hopped back in to play the back nine. I thought the back was easier…the front just seemed tighter. Went on a tear for the first bit of the back nine, then started to get nervous and backed off and started playing conservatively. On 18, I think I hit a 5 wood, 5 iron because I was worried about blowing it…haha…played for the fat places on the hole.
Continuing my “career” mode. Played the East Coast Classic at a Boston countryclub - definitely the hardest round I’ve played so far in the game. Winds were up to 15mph and I was just all over the place. I had closed to within two strokes of the lead with four holes to go and then I had a disastrous double-bogey which took me out of contention.
Which event is that? 2nd? 3rd? I think I just finished it as well. I had an absolute shambles of a second hole, nailing the water beside the green 3 times in a row with terrible swings. But I also managed my first eagle and despite being up to +5 at one point finished +2 and tied for 5th. My career has not gone awesome so far but I have finished top 5 two rounds in a row.
It might be the fourth or fifth. To try to redeem myself, I just played the Lighthouse Open, which is a nice course…lots of open space, although the hazards are just outside the play area. Winds were only 3-6mph though, so it made me pretty confident to run at the flag in some spots. I was in like 30th place at the turn and had four birdies to bring myself just one stroke back. One frustrating thing I can’t figure out is after you complete the 18th hole - is there a way to view your card, because I can’t seem to access it once I finish the round.
