Here are my scores... bogied that 18th hole again even after doing it in my practice round.... 
I knew the ball would drop off if I missed left... but I forgot to go right and went down the 
slope and had to 2 putt to get back.

Made a 30+ footer for my first birdie and a 45 footer for my second.

Here are my results for round 1 of the Purdue Open. A fairly disappointing round of 68 (-3). 
I missed 4 fairways, 7 greens, and took 29 putts. I made 6 birdies and 3 bogies.

I started off on fire, by nailing putts from 23 feet and 30 feet for birdies on #1 and #2, 
and added another at #3. I added another birdie at #6 to put me at -4. Near the turn, I hit
the skids. On #8, I drove into a fairway bunker, nailed it over the green into the bunker,
and had to sink a 12 footer to save par. On #9, I hit another fairway bunker, and ended up
making bogey. On #10, I hit a fairway bunker with my second, and was lucky to save par.

Got it to -5 after birdies at 11 and 12. The disaster came on #13. I had about 230 yards to
clear the water, and 240 to the pin. I stupidly went for it with a 3 wood. The shot hit about
the last pixel of the cliff, bounced way in the air, and ended up back in the water, and I 
ended up making bogey. A few inches further, and I make birdie. That really let the wind out 
of my sails, and I didn't make any more birdies. On #18, I three putted, missing a 4 footer 
for par.

Anyways, this is a pretty challenging course, so this round (hopefully) shouldn't be in too 
bad shape.

I played the worst round I've ever played on this course, shooting a 71.  I had never played 
it under dry conditions before and that makes it a LOT tougher because the greens are very 
difficult.  Oh, well.  Tomorrow's another day.

Very fun, well designed, fair course. I got lucky on two holes or my score
would have been worse. Nothing compared to what you jnse pros will shoot.
