Unlike the posters reporting their last rounds in March a day or two late, I played my first round in April today.

I'd forgotten the joys of public holiday Monday golf. Fairways and rough not mowed since Thursday, so the length of the grass made the fairways seemed a bit like the rough. I think the greens had been cut, so that wasn't so bad.

Did that worry me? For the first three holes it did, but then my entire game clicked. Even my putting. 39 points was the result, and leader in the clubhouse when I left.
