Played like a complete ****ing idiot today. What a weird 9 holes. Shot 52 with a mulligan on a 33.6/111 rated joke of a course. Couldn't put two good shots together in a row. Finally lag putted better but then my makeable putts all sucked. 2 of 6 drives were shanked like 50 feet to the left, which I haven't done in forever. 1 of them I used a mulligan and just rehit. The other I played from lol.
19 putts
5 bogeys
2 doubles
1 triple
1 quad
My long irons were either skulled for 80 yards or pured like 10% further than I normally hit them. My approach shots were all either 1-2 clubs short or long, or just off the green left or right. Took 2 shots to get out of an easy sand bunker with good lie (usually I do fine on these). Got the quad on the par 3 9th that always gives me fits. It's 175 yards and it always has a club wind in you face and left to right. There is a greenside bunker left and a few trees right of the green with low canopies and thick roots sticking up. Every time I played that hole I would hit a 3i or 4i and invariably slice it over by the trees then **** up the entire hole so today I took a 5i and started it at the left greenside bunker and told myself a nice fade short of the green would be fine. I could chip on and 1 or 2 putt no problem. So I of course rip a low liner that buries itself into the sand FML. I think next time I play this hole I might seriously lay up with like a 9i then just lob wedge up to the green and play for bogey. Laying up on a par 3, that's my game. That's what I'm about.
I also 3 putted today from 5'. Yes. And I was putting for ****ing birdie. Smashed a decent drive but big slice into the other fairway, then hit a beautiful AW over a big tree between me and the pin and it settled 5 feet from the hole. Pin high. No break. I have this nasty habit on short putts where I get my line and smash it, so this one went just by the right edge but rolled maybe 42" past. Then I was really just upset and I pulled the next putt like 4" left of the hole another 2 feet past and managed to sink the incredible 2 foot bogey putt. Overall I was happy with my lag putting though. I 2 putted from 22 feet and from 45 feet and my other 3-putt was from 33'.
