Goofy Golfer

Last week I got the chance to play 2 rounds at BitBurger land according to their site the course is rated nr 11 in Germany, so I was in for a treat :)

I played my first round on monday in great weather, 21-25 celcius, got a 9h50 Tee time but I could start earlier ... which luckily placed me well in front of the dutch group that was also staying in the hotel.

The first couple of holes went pretty ok , the course isn't short +5 strokes compared to home meant that I had to look at different par 4's as if they were par 5's. Holes like a 193 meter par 3 really aren't reachable on an average day for me .. I do reach the 200+ with my 4 iron but not uphill :)

And no a 397 meter par 4 , also uphill usually isn't reachable for me in 2 either.. at least they called it "Hole in 5" but then why is it a par 4 ?

BitGolf goes up and down like a Jojo.. which makes it a real physical challenge if you are walking the course, again that showed in my score.. I played my HCP on the first 9 .. but totally flunked the back 9

My thursday round was a bit more in balance ... my front 9 were less good.. but I made up for it in the back 9, probably because I was less frustrated by the extreme slow flights in front of me. Really if you are driving around with buggies that does not give you an excuse to drive back and forth 3 times on a hole blocking everyone behind you. If the flight right behind you bails out and the single player behind them closes that gap in 1 hole you might take the hint a bit
earlier and wave him trough before he almost arrives at that next teebox together with you.

Overall BitBurg is a really nice course its just too bad some people have absolutely no ettiquete and don't repair their pitchmarks what results in sometimes heavily tortured greens as you can see in the pictures.

Back home on saturday it showed that I had trained that week.. Played 28 points on 11 holes ...
