Round: Strawberry Valley

4 Players (Me, Tony, James and his Dad)
Pre-round practice: None. Rushed to the course for tee time, stepped onto the first tee and swung away.

9 Holes
During the last week, I made some adjustments to my grip and hand position. Proving to be beneficial. Although there are still issues with my alignment and comfort level at address. Putting was rough in the beginning, started to get into a rhythm on last few holes. Felt warmed up by 8th :( The 9th is a great driving hole. It's a blind tee shot over a small hill that extends into the fairway, which starts sloping at 220 yds out. If you get your drive down the fairway it can get a serious roll, adding 30 yds extra distance. Good for the ego.

Notables
Solid approach shots within 150 yds to the green. Straight drive on 9th.
Decent chipping control around greens.

Practice
Alignment. Pulling the ball hard left. Need to swing through and down on the ball.
