At Royal Cinque Ports a few weeks ago in the English amateur there were 2 rounds of 64, admitedly the EGU used some very tame pin positions.
Last week during a 2 day Open handicap event the best nett score was 66 on day one. A couple of good low handicap members shot level par. I was included in the top 50 who qualified for day two.
We were greeted with 28mph winds gusting to 50mph. The 450yd #3 was driver, 3 wood, 5 iron. I couldn't reach the fairway on #5 and the 310yd #6 was driver and a 5 iron. The usually harder back nine was 4 iron, 9 iron all the way.
Needless to say nett 79 was the best score of the day. Most GB&I's top links courses present scoring opportunities on a windless day but given a breeze or stronger and the scores rocket
