It wasn’t so much that it was a great round, I bogeyed nearly every hole on the back nine. A lot of it had to do with playing at Hyde Park. They’re doing a lot of renovation work and much of it has been to clear out trees and undergrowth, which makes finding wayward balls easier. 

However, on the good side, I was making good ball impact most of the time but the wind was really a factor. My putting was on and off too. 92 was my final score. I just couldn’t find a green in regulation to save my life. Really frustrating.

Hyde Park is a great course for not losing golf balls.  You can hit the ball way off line and still find it.  The fairways are generally wide, and the rough is non-existent.  I grew up playing that course.  Last time I played there, they were working on the club house.  So they're missing the most important thing on any course- the bar.  The post-round drinks.  

How was the course?  Are they still working on the club house?
