Silverthorn CC

Today was the second day I was able to play the Silverthorn Country Club. As I said this course would will be where I can take advantage of the short yardage. It is 6900 yards and that would be stretched out at its max. Their is plenty of out of bounds, pretty much on each side of every hole but rarely comes into play even on the worst of shots... their is enough room, especially if you take a good line off the tee. We have played the course the past two days with the greens fairly slow and I know that the greens will be cut, rolled and will be quite different from what we have practiced but in my mind they will only roll a little more true so I can look to make a few more putts. I'm excited to play this course though, in my mind if you play well through the two days at Southern Hills then there is no doubt you will be looking good for the top 18.
Today the Canadian Tour Officials made their way to the course and we have been notified that we are playing for 9 full exempt cards and 9+ties non-exempt spots on the tour. There are only 78 players in the field this week thus the reason for reduced cards available. Anyways, I tee off around 9:30 am on Monday at Southern Hills so I look to get off to a great start and ready myself to take advantage of the Silverthorn CC and make my way onto this tour... it's all i want.
