Was it the pressure of the high profile event? Was it the condition of the course? Were there too many trees? Or did we just hit too many s__t shots? Or was it all of the above?

The first round of the 25th Club Championship was notable for the absence of par or sub-par scores. The Treasurer and Secretary were both beating their chests after sharing the half way lead but there are only 6 shots separating first and last and, as the old sayng goes, "the unexpected is possible".
