I FOUGHT THE COURSE AND THE COURSE WON It was a day of high scoring at the Highlands on Thursday in the stroke event used as a tune up for September's "Little Man". When a return of a net 82 can get you in the money, you know there was not much to beat on the day. There was no reason for the high scores returned. The course is in great condition and apart from ten minutes of heavy rain from the only cloud over the course, the weather was not a factor. The greens are back to their best where the line and pace has to be perfect for the putts to drop. Our group shaved the hole so often we would have done justice to a barbers convention. Proving that the course could be negotiated successfully was Thursday's winner Hong Kim. Hong went out in a five under handicap of 42 highlighted by being one under through the first three holes. Hong needed the fast start as his homeward leg was a disappointing 56 but the hot start was enough for a three shot victory. There is not much you can say about the rest of the top three apart from the fact they were less incompetent than the rest of the field. To underline the day, Yours Truly embrasingly has to announce that he took the low gross prize with an 88. Says it all. Grahame | |||||
