I was due to play in a medal today but got offered a freebee at Castle Stuart so played there instead.
Course was in superb condidtion and has hardened up a fair bit since the Scottish open two weeks ago. we have had a fair bit of dry windy weather the last couple of weeks and even had a westerly breeze today.
I played really well and took a few quid of my playing partners the highlight was holing
my 2nd shot on the par 4 9th for Eagle for 39 out gross. and even better the back 9 a two under par 34 for the back 9 gross.
Even managed to birdie the 17th into a 2 club wind. Was a fluky shot, awfull pulled slice with a 2 iron from 210 yards that ended up 2 feet from the hole. you get breaks some days.
A 73 gross on a par 72.
should have played the medal after all, good cut could have been had there
Maybe tomorrow?
