3 Players (Me, Joe, Bob)
Pre-round practice: None
Tee time: 6:20 am. Woof. Stiff, no warm-ups. 1st hole off the tee, driver, 250+ yards. Every other drive was horrible. Pop-ups, massive slices, hooks, topped dribblers. Clubface was shifting often at impact. Must fix my grip and solidify a square face at impact. Weak irons on front nine. Wasn’t comfortable with swing and follow through. Back nine scored a 44 i believe. Much better performance with irons and putting. Putting was the only consistent part of my game. Kept most holes to 2 putts and even hit a few long 10-15 footer 1 putts. At the end of the round, scored a 96. Which is +1 stroke more than my best 95. Good news is that considering how bad I felt I played, my score was close to my best, meaning if I play any better, I could easily break 90, or even go low 80s. With almost 2 weeks in between my last 2 rounds, things can only get better with more play. I’ve got the Paul Jensen Tournament to work and look forward to in September. If I play once a week leading up to the tournament, I could do very well.
Score: 96
