Players series tourney today, and I now realize that I cannot compete with the better amateur club players in VT.... (the NCAA kids laugh at these tourneys)
Anyways, only 6700 yards but trouble everywhere, (at least I found it) ...if you are just a little bit off, you are dead if you know what I mean... throw in some greens like ice, some 30 mph wind with 50 mph gusts and some off and on sideways rain, and that is what I was facing today.
I hit the ball "decently" but found lots of links style gorse all bordering the fairways and struggled to an 86. The 2 guys I played with were unimpressive but managed 79's. It was an absolute brutal day.
It was fun driving a 350 yard par 4 tho - teeing the ball downwind is so much more fun than into the wind.... I got a little quick on the into the wind shots and hit some hooks
