You got a lot of valuable bunker time as you head to Bandon! I'm curious what your scoring expectation was as a 9 handicap on a tough course under tough conditions? Guessing it was certainly sub-90, but I have no frame of reference since my expectation is currently to break 100, hitting the low 90's on a good day, and flirting with triple digits if things start to tilt off the rails.
When conditions are this bad it is usually mid to high 80s. If you think about it though, I was on the fairway 11/14 times during this round. So my driver was working just fine for me. Easily could have shot in the 80's but it came down to ball striking with my irons and very poor short game..
