ECCO Championship Germany

This past week I was in Winsen, Germany playing in the ECCO Championship. The week started off on Tuesday morning for me when I arrived to the Hamburg airport. I had rented a car for the week as my hotel and the golf course were about 45 min from the airport. My home for the week was a small bed a breakfast about 5 min from the course. It was a very nice place, only problem was no one really spoke any English! I should have touched up on my German before getting here!
After getting everything settled in I went out Tuesday afternoon for a little practice. The golf course this week was very long!! It played nearly 7800 yards and the greens were very tricky to say the least. I had another practice day Wednesday as well as the Pro-Am Wednesday afternoon. The course was playing very difficult and to make things better I wasn't feeling very good about my game.
Thursday the tournament started. I teed off early Tuesday morning and shot an opening 72 (1 under, par 73), I was pleased with how things went the first day. The second round wasn't as good. I shot 2 over 74 to make the cut on the number! Wasn't all that good of a day, didn't really hit it too well or make many putts but was just able to make it to the weekend. The third round I shot my best round of the week, 70 (-3). The final round was quite disappointing for me as it played very difficult and it was a good day to move up the leaderboard. I shot 76 (+3). I hit it the best of all the days just had several three putts and wasn't able to take advantage of any opportunities for birdies. Good news is that I am starting to feel better with my game and looking forward to next week in Wales.
I didn't really have much of a chance to see much while I was in Germany. One evening I made a trip to Hamburg for dinner and other than that wasn't able to see much other than the small town I was staying in!! It was a nice place though... similar to Btown! I was planning on traveling to see some distant relatives here in Germany but wasn't able to due to a tight schedule. Overall I have really liked Germany! People have been super friendly and the food has been great (usually how I judge places)!
Next week I am off to Wales. I am looking forward to the week and hopefully be able to get the game going and pick up a good finish!!
