First 18-hole round of the year here: https://www.eaglewoodresort.com/golf.htm
Played the silver tees, about 5400 yards. Shot 90 which I was pleased with, particularly with a 5-6-8 start (all par 4s). Had 7 pars, including 4 in a row on Holes 5-8.
Bunkers were fairly penal and on one hole a fried egg leave took me 3 shots to get out (the 8 above). Greens were tricky and undulating and the scorecard shows I had 40 putts!
Had just put together a Wishon Micro-Groove HM SW that worked beautifully 4 times today and set up my best birdie chance, which I left short. Partial credit to GolfBuzz and @SVonhof for the deal a few years ago.
The driver, the Honma XP-1 that I picked up based on Uncle Steve's recommendation, was excellent all day. Hooked two drives starting the back 9 but righted the ship after that. The shaft is the most excellent @LogicalOne Leveler untipped at 45". For my slow SS I am consistently getting a slight draw out to 210 yards after roll, even on shots towards the toe, and the occasional 220-230 yard shot. Not one slice today. I don't think that has ever happened for me on an 18-hole round before.
