Default New Course vs Home Course
I was looking back over some of my round notes and comparing my recent rounds. I noticed quite a change from playing the three courses here in Naples that I rotate around every week and the "new" courses I've played recently. The shot difference was staggering, avg +10 on the "new" courses, in other words I floated the high 80's at my courses, over 100 on the other courses.

Is this typical or did I just completly blow up during those rounds. I know it drove me nuts playing so poorly on new courses with new people each time, so it kinda gave me a new appreciation of tour pro's who are on a different course every week (granted the course condidtions are kept to "standards") and are still able to be consistant.

How do you adapt to different conditions? For instance I play low bounce wedges, so getting into fluffy sand makes for a rough day when I'm not playing down here where our bunkers are a little more firm, I can try opening up the face but tends to create more problems.

When you all go to a course for the first time, do you expect to shoot a similar score to your home course or do you anticipate a higher (or lower) score.
