It is interesting because most of the greens are highly elevated to prevent borax poisening. The course is not very far from Boron where the world's largest borax mine is located (don't I play in interesting places - aren't you glad you don't ). I shot a 74 (39 / 35) with 2 doubles (yes, 2 doubles ). I did have 4 birds though. I also just missed a 15-foot eagle putt on a 500 yard par 5. That is the longest par 5 I have ever reached in two (drive was around 270 which left me with 230 to a long, skinny elevated green). I bounced it on with a 3W to 15'. The course is a little short at 6310, but a career round still feels good (it was playing a little longer than normal since they hadn't cut the dandelions...woops fairways in awhile). I also lipped out a couple other birdie putts as well. It could have been better (still only 28 putts so I can't complain). So, you ask, what was my secret? Feel the power of PP3! I finally felt some really good PP3 feedback on the range and carried it pretty well throughout the day. Not perfectly (drives were a little clanky only averaging ~250ish), but good enough. Oh, I forgot to mention that in the past couple of weeks I seem to have added 20 yards or so on my tee shots (LAG BABY ). It is getting scary out here folks... __________________ _________________________________ Steph Distance is Magic; Precision is Practice.
