Golf Diary

The Round: Played Riverview Score: 78 Greens In Reg: 8 Putts: 32

The Good: Doing a new swing thing that I even incorporate in the short game and putting. It worked pretty well. Did nothing outstanding but nothing was horrible either. Hit my irons better than the norm but that’s not saying much.

The Bad: With the new swing thing my driving suffered the most especially in the beginning, but I was able to overcome it with some good putting and chipping. The front nine I bogied 1 and 9 but parred all the rest. The back nine was up and down but mostly down for a 41.

The Luck Of The Round: Did not have very much good luck that was for sure. The 10th hole started the back nine and the round decline. I hit a 51 degree wedge form 110 yards to a downhill pin location. I pulled it just a touch and the ball bounced to the left and into the trap. I skulled the sand shot over the green and made double bogey. I had another ball take a big bounce left and get close enough to a tree that it affected my swing, and this led to another bogey.

Next Round: Stoughton Acres, in Butler Pa. on Sunday. It will be cold.
