18 holes. Much better score than last week, but I did have a repeat experience of the ball hitting a branch overhanging the fairway and dropping some time later 10 meters behind the tee.

A run on Birds Reef. Having only mapped the terrain 12 months ago, I had a certain navigational advantage, but it didn't show in the results. The car thermometer was showing 29 degrees and I felt it. Pleasing to hear general comments about how people enjoyed the terrain and map. A small poke in the eye for the IOC Mapping Commission. The map is proudly non-compliant with ISOM standards. Its mapped at 1:5,000 and was printed for the event at 1:7,500.
Mapping. A day of unfulfilled promise. Was looking forward to exploring this terrain. The slope map was promising...
Sadly, almost all was unmappable. Mostly a little too small. Three mounds was all I found. The rest will just be brown dots.
