Golf Diary

The Round: Played South Park: Score 74 Greens In Reg. 12 Putts 32

The Good: My game from 80 yards in was very good. I hit three pitch shots from 60 to 80 yards that all ended up 3 to 5 feet from the pin. I made all 3 putts for birdies. My other birdie came from 120 yards out with a gap wedge to about 8 feet. I hit 12 greens in regulation for a very good iron day. My driving was good if not great. Even though I did not drive the ball far today, none of my drives found trouble. My decision-making process was good which really helped out the results of the shots.

The Bad: This is what made my round interesting in that my putting and short game were not good. I only got it up and down 1 out of 6 times. I made a double bogey from about 5 yards short of the green. I hit a strong chip and then blew a 15 foot putt about 5 feet past the hole and then missed that for the double. I had a couple of yip putts but no chip yips today.

The Luck Of The Round: I had some good breaks today. I hit a thin 6 iron on a par 3 that rolled onto the green. I skulled a wedge on the last hole that is uphill, and it was able to stay on the green. I did not have any bad luck today that’s for sure.

Next Round: Tomorrow Stoughton Acres.
