I am looking forward to it in any case! It is always fun to see how the pros deal with their emotions on such a tough course.

Indeed! Thirty-six holes on Saturday with a small cut of 70% of the field for Sunday. If I make the cut, I will be ecstatic because I have been writing an article for an academic journal for the last two weeks every day and could not practice anything. But I rely on my years of practice haha sometimes it works sometimes not.

I am currently something like a 1 or 2 but they have this weird system now the last couple of years where you have an index that's always higher. That is something like 3 or 4. So basically, I have no idea what the handicap system is in our country but it changes depending on (i) competition and (ii) tee you play off. So for Club Champs, I am playing back tees in a comp so I think 1. But on social rounds when I play with the mates from normal tees and not in a comp it's closer to 4. I reckon people are going to complain about the system (high handicaps get all the favor, lower handicaps cannot win any Stableford points comps). Sorry, very long reply to say I am a 1 or a 4 handicap 🤣
