The star of this show was the spectacular scenery. We were fortunate to have a sunny,warm and calm day and the views just could not be beat. The course itself was fine, in kinda uninteresting until you hit the stretch of 12-17 which had a lot of quirky uphill/downhill shots. Some of the holes we one the sides of cliffs with hundreds of feet of drop right beside you, which was a bit unnerving.
I hit the ball well, played the white tees (6500ish) and made three doubles. Probably missed three shots all day. Made a couple of putts after realizing my caddie couldn’t read putts properly.
