I will send it to any who need it and upload to the club house (but that may take some time to get assimilated into the database). Brad, will send to you in a moment. Its likely to be on the easier side, which should provide low scoring opportunity, so we might have one round with some blowing wind if real world looks like its _too_ mild!

My reflection after one round. This course was subtly harder than I expected. I enjoyed my trip here actually quite a bit more than predicted! Its not a top tier JN6 course, but I'd rate it a solid 7.5/10 and as a course design it does just enough without being tricked up. The only thing lacking are a few more holes with 'risk/reward' decisions to be made. I'd also like to see just a little bit more water come into play on a couple of holes to keep it interesting or maybe have the coffins in skeleton corner be a little more in play at times. Visually, I adore the par 3 across the chasm. But I nitpik just a little because in short the designer did a great job and I will keep this on my hard drive and foresee future visits after this tournament.

Good luck friends!

Hi Guys,
all I can say about this round is "Thank God for my putter." Although, it even deserted me on Hole 4.
Here's my first round and a quick update.
Cheers
Brad

My plan: I’m going to play rounds 2 & 3 with someone and I will put my round 4 up early for you all to play with midweek or so
