2022 Australian Doubles Championship | CARD 2, B9 | Gibson/Allen, Team Fourth Circle | Gatekeeper

The Australian Doubles Championship features Nick Halstead and Lee on Card 2 of the B9 series, competing against heavy hitters Drew Gibson and Jennifer Allen. Despite an even score through the first nine holes, Nick shares his growing comfort level with his opponents. The duo faces challenges in navigating the course's downhill terrain, obstacles, and strategic landing zones. Shot analysis highlights Nick's second shot, which successfully utilizes a gate as a backstop. Set against the picturesque Tunnel Ridge Ranch, known for its horse-friendly environment, the players must contend with hazards like ponds and OB boundaries. A shoutout is given to James from the Tunnel Ridge crew for their generosity in hosting the tournament.
