My best would be playing in Portugal with my parents on holiday. We played the South Course at Quinta do Lago, which held the Portuguese Open a couple of times. 7,100 yards from the back tees and I was four over after 11. Not too bad, but then I eagled 12, birdied 13, parred 14 (missed a 10' birdie putt), chipped in on 15 for a birdie, hit a 4-iron to 5 feet at 16 for another birdie, failed to get up and down on 17, so only made par and parred the last for 71 (-1). That was quite good fun.

I spent a long time thinking about Greg Norman's 1993 Open Championship. He started that off with a double bogey and ended up shooting 66 and went on to win the tournament. The thought that you could start off with double and still make a great score is quite an uplifting one when you start with a double (believe me on this one, I've put it to the test a LOT).
