Played in a vardon event at Kooyonga on Sunday. Course was set up super hard - rock hard, fast greens, toughest pins, playing from the tips. Field of 64 sub-5 handicaps, only 7 guys broke 80. I started triple-double-double to be out of the running right away. Lost ball off the first tee, had to make the walk of shame back to the tee with other groups waiting (saw my ball bounce, so didn't hit a provisional, but couldn't find it when I got there). Played holes 4-18 pretty well for an 87.
