I must say, that it was quite an experience. I can tell you that casual play, tag challenges and doubles do not prepare you for tournament day. My nerves were shot before I even went to bed the night before the tournament and because of that, many of my throws suffered; lack of follow through, short putts, low putts, high putts...
but in spite of my rather "lack-luster" performance(67, 66), I had a freakin' awesome time.
It was great to see the course full, the tournament sold-out, and the reactions from the players to the new layout. I was talking with some folks that said things to the effect "...I had been here in the past and the course was not this challenging" or "...this course never used to be this left-handed friendly"
So while I still struggle with some of the newer positions (#16 & #17), the reaction by many folks was positive; to the degree that many said that they would not only be back, but would also be spreading the news! Maybe they can beat a better path for me through #16 & #17 ? !
Anyway, I just wanted to post Kudos to all the guys that made the day possible.

Look at that putting style

I must have made one!

...and now a message from our sponsors...

Hopefully I can be doing better by next year...
Thanks again to everyone for making it a great experience!
