Hmm, I guess that was the only thing I did well. I was in the island fairway all 4 rounds, but still only birdied twice.

I like this course. Narrow. If you miss the snap off the tee, there's a good chance for water or sand.

Actually, it was #12 that got me. I thought a 3-metal would be perfect for hitting the island. Just the slightest push put me in the drink and rehit was the only good option.


I’ve not decided yet what to do on that hole when I play champ. I’ll have to be feeling really confident with the snap to go for it. Probably will on round 1 and see


In the end I went for the island in all 4 rounds. Got lucky I guess as I missed the snap on 3 of the rounds and each time ended on the river bank instead of in the water. Chipped out and managed a par each time when it could have been so much worse.

Harpo wrote:Break Line Indicator. If you have it turned on when you set up your player, it shows on the green the slope of the green. Some use it for telling the break of a putt vs the grid lines on the green. Some use both in combination I think.


Gotcha, thanks! I just use the grid lines, so I guess the funkiness of BIL doesn't bother me... :D However, I distinctly recall a putt on one of these greens (forget which one) that the grid lines showed the putt starting left and when I hit it (perfect snap), it went a little right instead, and of course, I missed the putt. Mentally noted but immediately disregarded it as one of those Links anomalies.
