Ball striking was
much better today. I made an adjustment that has me feeling like I'm getting more on top of the ball with the irons and that got me back to my usual distance. Accuracy is a work in progress. Also experimented with a different (shorter) putter. Results mostly good. Chipping sucked.
Hole 1 (380 par 4), very good drive in right center of fairway. Hit 8 iron a little fat, comes up just short and left. Good pitch to 6 feet, putt just misses right edge, tap in. 5.
Hole 2 (125 par 3), 8 iron comes up just short on fringe, about 12 feet to the hole. Leave approach short, make 2 footer. 3.
Hole 3 (540 par 5). Good drive, right center of fairway. 5i a little fat to 175. 3h to pin high just off the green to the right. Putter from off green (~ 40') too hard, runs 10' past. Make comebacker. 5.
Hole 4 (360 par 4). Good drive, left side of fairway. Yank 8 iron way left, ends up pin high. Mediocre pitch to 8 feet, make it. 4.
Hole 5 (175 par 3). Shaky 4i to 12 feet, make. 2.
Hole 6 (420 par 4). Excellent drive to 175. Awful toed 3h into trees on right. Chip out, runs just over green. Putter from off green to 8', miss. 6.
Hole 7 (385 par 4). Good drive, inches in right rough. Clunky 7 iron to 40'. Leave lag putt way short, miss 10 footer. 5.
Hole 8 (155 par 3). 6i to 8 inches. Make. 2.
Hole 9 (475 par 5). Good drive to center fairway. 9i layup for position. 7i to 5 feet. Miss. Dammit. 5.
37 (par 35).
Hole 10 (390 par 4). Good drive inches in right rough. Decide to get cute and play a cut just like my shot on 8 to a back right pin, it flies dead straight and rolls over the back left edge. Chip is a flier and rolls over. Putter from fringe (12') just misses, tap in. 5.
Hole 11 (465 par 5). Excellent drive left center. 8i for position. Push/blade 8i to 30', very good lag to 1', make it. 5.
Hole 12 (375 par 4). Good drive to right side of fairway. 5i pulled just a bit, six inches into rough left of green. Putter to 3', make it. 4.
Hole 13 (160 par 3). Awful blocked 5 iron into trees on right, ricochets down in front of green. Left myself the same chip I had on 10, this time it checks up 20' short.
Lag to 2', miss (ball was in a hole and I didn't notice it). 5.
Hole 14 (460 par 5). Excellent drive left center. Bunt 3h to 80 yards, left rough. PW to 8 feet, putt just slides by the low side. 5.
Hole 15 (550 par 5). Excellent drive right center. 3h to 145. Push 6i to back right quadrant, pin is left front, leaving a 30' severely downhill putt with 8+ feet of break. Lag to 8 inches (!), tap in. 5.
Hole 16 (175 par 3). Knock down 3h to 8'. Evil pin placement. Big breaking uphill putt struck beautifully, just slides across the front of the hole. Tap in. 3.
Hole 17 (415 par 4). Very good drive right center. 4i to 5 feet. Miss. $%^&!. Tap in. 4.
Hole 18 (420 par 4). Draw drive, shot calls for a big fade, ends up well into trees. Good punch out to 150. 6i fades a bit and misses just off green pin high right. Chip not hard enough to 8', miss. 6.
