Louis in 1904 to the new Olympic Golf Course in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 is now officially completed! The Olympic Spirit of Golf is reborn! TROML Baby!

Guess it is time to leave, they locked me in! Great day witnessing Olympic Golf! (Facebook Post with 30 pics, Andy Reistetter, 8-11-16)
Marcus Fraser shoots a record-breaking 8-under par 63 to lead after Round 1 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Golf! Here is his introduction and drive on the first hole. He went on to birdie the hole, bogey No. 2 then birdie 8 of the last 16 holes and par the others for a nice closing 50% birdie percentage. Record setting because it is the new course record (new course) and a new Olympic record (beats scores of 112 years ago). Right up there with the thirty 63s in golf’s four Majors. Remember this is the Olympics, no ordinary trophy presentation come Sunday afternoon rather a Gold, Bronze & Silver Medal Ceremony! Love ceremonies at the Olympics!
