European Tour - Hassan Trophy Morocco

A little late on the post but better late than never... So this was my first ever European Tour event and in one of my favorite countries, Morocco!! As I said in the previous post we were in Agadir. Agadir is located a couple hours south of Casablanca on the coastline.
Started the week off on a serious high note when I was the first group out on the Palace course, which was actually inside the palace walls! The course was immaculate! No one had played the course in at least 5 years so needless to say it was perfect! The second day we went and played the secondary course. The course was good but definitely couldn't compare to the Palace course.
It was a good couple days of practice and was ready to get underway in the actual tournament!
The tournament started on Thursday. When I woke up I quickly realized it was going to be an interesting day! The wind was blowing pretty good and it was the hottest wind I had ever experienced. I forget what they called the wind but it came straight from the Sahara. We dealt with these winds the first two days.
The first day I really had it going. Was 3 under with 5 to play but finished poorly ended with 73 on the day (+1) . It was an interesting day, I felt as if I played quite well. I was still feeling good, onto the next round. Second round was at the secondary course. Needless to say it wasn't quite as nice but still ok. Shot 72(E) to make the cut. I was happy that I made the cut but also knew that I was hitting it quite well and had two more days to improve my position. The next two days were a little bit of a let down for me. I played quite well from tee to green but the short game wasn't there and I wasn't able to post any great scores. Finished the third and fourth days with 73 72 and ended up t60 on the week. Made a decent check for the week I think it was about $4000 euros so covered the travel costs and other expenses. It was a fun week and something I will never forget!
