75 at Longniddry on a breezy day earlier today - very much a round of two halves, as I couldn't make a par early on (five straight bogeys before my first par at 6), and then a pretty solid back nine. The hole positions hadn't been changed since the Professional's Day scramble tournament on Saturday - the par 3s were all in the middle of the greens (probably because of the hole in one prizes), but tough locations on the other holes with a lot of big-breaking putts. Add in firm conditions, and it made for some interesting golf - hit an 8-iron shot over 160 yards on the 9th (downwind), and 3-wood on the 13th from about 165 into the wind. That was the right club for the shot, too, as it finished about 6 feet under the hole for one of my two birdies - the other was a holed pitch shot from 65 yards on the 17th (bounce, bounce, roll, disappear...)
