The NCGA Stroke play championship is off and running under summer conditions, cloudy and cool. The course is in perhaps the best condition I can ever remember with the greens running smooth and true (although my afternoon round today will be the true test).
My good pal Scott Hardy shot an awesome 66 and takes a two shot lead into today’s second round. This is a tough course to go low on for three days so it will be interesting to see what the lead score after today’s second round.
My 71 was a hang on round that never really clicked until the end when I salvaged my round with a birdie, par, birdie finish to stay in the hunt. Today I hope to have more consistency with my iron shots that were not sharp on Fridays first round.
The one great change to the course….NO MORE OB STAKES ON #10 which is more psychological than really a problem off my starting hole today. The 5 par five holes give you ample opportunity to make some birdies, mixed with some challenging par three holes. NCGA site article and scores below…STAY TUNED FOR SECOND RD RESULTS

Poppy Hills GC
July 9, 2010
PEBBLE BEACH – Scott Hardy has established an early two-stroke lead after round 1 of the NCGA Amateur Stroke Play Championship at Poppy Hills.
The St. Mary’s Golf Coach is seeking his second NCGA major title of the year after claiming the Public Links back in April. Hardy’s stellar 66 on the 6,885-yard course Friday was fueled by six birdies versus no bogeys; the 34-year-old previously won the Amateur Stroke Play in 2004, the first year of its playing after a hiatus of 38 years. He has captured five NCGA titles total.
Low scoring dominated the day as 13 players broke par. Kevin Lucas of the Collegiate Players Club and Monterey Peninsula College and Nick Sako of Pine Mountain Lake are second after four-under 68s. Third place is shared by Andrew Bonner of Spring Creek and San Jose Muni’s Christopher Ellis at three-under 69.
The championship is a three-round event; the second round commences Saturday with starting times beginning at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.. After the second round, players with the low 30 scores and ties will play Sunday for the title.
