The ultra sim experience tour travels to southern Norway and Kristiansand to play the Garmin Norwegian Cup at Bjaavann Golfklubb.
The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr and was opened in 2006.
Located on the sunny southern tip of Norway, the Robert Trent Jones II-designed Bjaavann Golfklubb is a rare inland course set along a fjord that is an extension of the North Sea. The gently rolling terrain is interspersed with natural springs, rock outcroppings, a rock island, a meandering stream, and mature stands of birch and pine.
The resulting 6,889-yard course, which sits beautifully in its natural setting, provides a serene and intimate golf experience.
Robert Trent Jones, Jr. has said of the golf course, "The good people of Bjaavann Golfklubb provided us with a wonderful canvas on which to create golf art. The extraordinary site embodies the many beautiful characteristics that Norway is blessed with. Our job was merely to discover and unveil a great golf experience while respecting Mother Nature."
The weather forecast for the week:
Wind: low, high, low, medium
Wind direction: east, southeast, north, west

If you hit a great shot by all means go back and study it to death on the next hole. Of course you can't do it on the same hole before the putt as it gives you the same advantage as follow cam.

I also got a -5 on the first round. Made too many mistakes with a bogey on hole 2 after a small hook (not miss left, not miss left.. oh well). I feel like I know this course inside out, but did not manage to nail it in the first round. Anyway, I am happy to say that my practice on 95% full shots is paying off. Managed two of these on this round, both landing close to the pin giving birdie. |
