COD 2018 got off to a terrific start at Buninyong Golf Club.
First things first, and Hujakate had once again come up with a tournament shirt of more than dubious sartorial splendour.
Thanks to greatrounds.com, carts were used by all except a recalcitrant Iggy. An equally recalcitrant Mike Sheahan threw off his tournament shirt after two holes.
Buninyong is an interesting course with good greens, but the lack of rain made fairways hard – ideal for tee shots to scuttle and run, not so ideal for fairway shots to attack the flag.
Despite his aversion to carts, Nifty started out brightly and was the Green Jacket leader after Day 1. But the big news was the form of The Elegance. After talking himself down pre-tournament, he came up with a very tidy 94 – including a chip in on the 18th – to finish with a nett 62.
