Board of Trade: South Course

[openflows]

Today I was (finally) able to play my first round of the year. A friend of mine took me out to the Board of Trade South Course, which is an executive length 9 hole track.

At 1688 yards per 9 holes, it's not long, but there are 3 decent driving holes, the 3rd, 4th, and 6th. The 6 other par 3s are not easy, and require accurate short irons, otherwise getting up and down is difficult, due to sand traps and water hazards.

The greens were in great condition, all things considered, and the course as a whole was otherwise dry. The pro shop said the East course will most likely open on the 20th, and the West course shortly thereafter.

Playing an executive length course like the South at Board of Trade was a good way to start the season and get the swing warmed up again, while focusing largely on putting and the short game. After all, that's where the scoring is...
