First to tee off in Tapiola for the season!

After a day’s break in playing Tapiola opened for the season. At 11th March at noon my drive was in the air! That was the first official tee time for the season, but there were quite a few ball marks on the greens, so somebody have been playing there before us.

I did pay a visit to my “golf doctor” Gyltsi at Golf Center Lauttasaari on the the previous day.  Along came Cobra’s Bio Cell Spoon and Amp Cell Hybrid. These were also put into the action today. The Spoon showed it character from the first shot onwards. I had a change to make a birdie on the 1st hole, but missed the putt with a ball length. The same on the 11th. 
11th green and the possible birdie putt.

Slow greens and timely strong winds characterized the round. The bunkers were partly filled with soft sand and partly still covered in ice. Most of the tee boxes were still frozen and I did have difficulties to put the tee into the ground. 2 hours and 30 min of sunshine and winds was all it took to complete the round. The fast pace at Tapiola is what I like about the course among the closeness to home and the future office. Here is post I wrote in Finnish last year.

Number of lost balls: 0

In total 104 shots.

Season best in Tapiola: 104 shots
