Finally got my game a little more together ... Made a few nice putts and only missed one I should have made. The most important thing was finally getting the yardage right on my irons and not flying the greens. Looked like I might even have a bogey free round but of course choked a bit and bogeyed 18.
Went out in 31 and came back in 32 for a 63! Also had an eagle in there, forget which par 5, so that really helped .....
......
Looking forward to the the rest of the way.

63 is an awesome start

At -8 through 14. But my game keeps crashing at 15. I'll try to get it fixed but it may be late. If not then I'll have to WD.

I struggled today with the gusty conditions just could not seem to read the wind.

A few of the hole positions could cause nightmares too, the breaks were unreal.

As a result went out in a +1 36.

My play did improve on the back nine, I started with 4 birdies, but could not keep it up so came home in 32 to post a second round 68.

It was certainly a struggle and could have gone either way, given my play, a 68 probably wasn't too bad, perhaps a little kind in fact.

I watched a couple of other rounds and it looks like the clickers get a bit more distance than I do.

For those having game problems with this course, I would routinely have Links hang on hole 12 when using the dgVoodoo wrapper, DDrawCompat I have had no problems with and no problems with no wrapper and using an Nvidia HBA.

Des, I use the DGVD wrapper and every time I get interrupted, I can restore at that point. And it happens randomly.

Give me directions on how to possibly fix this. No matter what I try I can't get it to work.

Matt, have you tried to get out of Links entirely and then reload it? I have been totally kicked out of a round and when I reloaded it allowed me to resume the round at the point it stopped.
