Apologies for the late debrief from our Canadian round as I was on the road playing it. I really enjoyed that course with the wide open fairways and dramatic elevation changes. I went aggressive on the drives, but laid up on the middle game due to the winds. It seemed to pay off.
R1: -4 with only 2 bogies
R2: -2 Mostly Par with 1 or 2 bogies. missed the screenshot of my card
I’m still figuring out the whole wind thing and don’t think I’ll fair as well in the current round. 18mph crosswinds… 
Round 1 in the books.
I present the following work titled as “Natures indifference to mans suffering.”
Hole 6 I believe it was, almost a 262 yd hole in one, hit the cup and spun right back out.
More of the usual missed putts, and a few excursions into the bunkers and rough as well. Overall whenever it seemed like I was getting it together, I’d do something stupid again. Not sure how I’ll fair with the winds, but we’ll see.
Well, that was ugly. Seven over, but it could have been worse.
My approach shots were ordinary to say the least, but I could not have read those greens even if my life depended on it.
What ‘should’ have been a hole in one on the 13th bounced out of the cup and ended up in the rough. Managed to save Par on that one and followed up with a double Bogie (after having to take a drop). The one and only Birdie on the next hole was a 7yd chip from the edge of the green!
Round 1: Started off early with a couple of bogies. Nerves or whatever. Eventually settled in. The wind direction was everywhere, but the speed was relatively low.
Once again @Chaz tears up the course and gives us all a golf lesson 
Well done and any tips for those greens?
Well I survived.
Double bogey on 9, I tried to get fancy with the wind and shot shaping and it didn’t work in extremis. The double on 13 I put into the water, and then caught the edge of the cup 2 trying to get off that dang hole.
Here’s an example of my wind holds:
It all started so well, then it went from bad to worse.
In the last round on the 16th, I played chip it from once side to the other and back.
+21 - just awful golf 
Them WINDS!! And even this correction didn’t put me on the green.
Sorry folks
Round 2: I’ll take +6 over in those conditions. Started out ok. Then I got sloppy in the last 9. Water shot. Double bogey. Fun times though. 
The front nine was looking promising, then it turned to Clag!
Should have packed my scuba gear for the back half of the course.
And. @jenrick I feel your pain. That would have given me a birdie.
Welp, I certainly feel better about my scores after watching this.
So congrats to our winners the past two weeks… @Chaz getting the win in the Great White North…and in the West Coast Rumble…!
Next up on the agenda…we will head out to San Diego and play the Farmers Open a little early…
I left default conditions for Round 1 and medium winds and moderate course conditions for Round 2. I think it is set to be the 18th to the 22nd?
Enjoy the scenery…it is a pretty course (one of the “Official 2K23” courses…so very nice artwork!
I hate Torrey Pines. Like…really hate it. Every fairway feels convex. I’ll bet I only hit about three fairways off the tee. I was everywhere. What a frustrating round.
I did my first round and was -3 under with 4 to play already predicting my post match report of The Farner is back at the Farmer’s open, I ended up +1 over. 
Second round I’ll post the card in a while, but had a decent round.
Even without the ‘out of bounds three times’ brain-fart on the 4th hole, that was an entirely forgettable round of golf (like my real game).
Oh well, tomorrow can only be better?
I think I went off in the brush on that hole…and was happy to escape with a bogey. Starting off bogey / par / bogey / bogey was pretty disheartening… 
I just couldn’t pull it together. That track is just really unforgiving of not hitting the fairway off the tee.
Looks like yesterday’s replay/practice might have paid off. If only I could have replicated that, but I will take a one over for the 2nd round.
And whatever @jenrick has. I think it is catching?
Just getting the next event lined up. This one probably looks just like @chipwich’s backyard. This one is based on south-east U.S. low-country (think South Carolina and Georgia)…and the course designer nailed the look. Now…don’t fret…there is a lot of water (a LOT)…but the course actually plays pretty fairly. Yes…you will probably get wet a time or two…particularly on the Day 2 low-country hurricane conditions… Should be a fun match with lots of great stories…
January 23 - 27…
Is it cheating if I play a practice round first?
Anyhoo, here I am keeping an eye out for gators and about to T off at the 2nd and… hey squirrel!
And yeah, I have definitely picked up a case of Jenrick’s disease
