11th (par 4)
Since it is difficult to read the direction of the wind and it is "difficult enough to pray to God", the 11th to 13th of the famous course called "Armen Corner" started.
The first 11th is a par save by pulling the 3rd shot to the pin.
12th (par 3) △ bogey
The tee shot is put in the bunker at the back of the green.
The second bogey on this day because I couldn't get enough bunker shots.
