Today was an experience teeing it up at Carnoustie in the Paul Lawrie Carnoustie Challenge, bringing together professionals from most of the main tours.
To be honest it was a great experience to play the course off the championship tees – but oh so challenging. Perfectly placed fairway bunkers to catch your drives and greenside ones to snare long irons into the greens.
I shot 86 – not what I would have liked but, as always, the score is the score. I made many mistakes today, learned a lot about competing and where I’m at, and also played a lot of shots I’m proud of.
So I’m off early in the morning for my 7.50am tee time – I need to learn to score better if I want a later time I guess!
Tomorrow is another day and I sit here excited at the prospect of doing better and getting a bit higher up that scoreboard. Better set the alarm.
Calum
Everything taken into consideration, including the weather yesterday, I’m sure you learned a lot Calum. Enjoy today as it looks a bit milder and I’m sure the course will be a bit kinder to you. Don’t be late!
Good luck today. Onwards and upwards
