Finally opened!!!
I get the impression from the lack of posts that I am the only one left that was still playing with this. It arrived last Feb with the green, I cracked the Green after almost 6 months and started this in July 11. It is the most frustrating thing I have ever done and has taken over nine months with a couple of breaks for the wrists to recover.
More than once I was tempted to go for it with a sledge hammer!!
I used felt tip pen on the rod to map, and then a permanent pen once I had the marking right. I tried pencil but ended up with a grey rod (not as rude as it seems). Would not advise use a permanent pen too early, it can be close to the shaft and impossible to remove (which leads to repeating the same frustrating mistakes).
I am sure I still don't know where all the traps are but I am certain that I have been in most of them.
Please can I now see the map and cry quietly into my beer.
