Rounds played 3: Rittswood Score 80 Greens In Reg. 5 Putts 31

Quicksilver Score 78 Greens In Reg. 8 Putts 31

Highland Springs Score 76 Greens In Reg. 12 Putts 34

The Good: My driving was the best of the year. Not only in straightness but in distance. I did hit some bad drives here and there particularly at Quicksilver and in the early going at Rittswood but other than that, I hit some really good drives with some extra distance. My iron game improved with every round and was really good at Highland Springs where I hit 13 greens. I had some short irons into some large greens but overall my iron game was very good. My short game was neither good or bad as I got up and down 4 for 13 at Rittswood, 4 for 10 at Quicksilver and 3 for 6 at Highland Springs.

The Bad: Putting, Putting and more Putting. Even though the numbers do not look all that bad I could not make anything. The best putting day was at Quicksilver as I did make some nice par saves and two nice birdie putts. The worse was today as I had some very good birdie looks and could not make a thing. I had 5 putts under 15 feet for birdie, and none were made. If I had had a good putting day I would have shaved off 2 to 5 strokes in each round.

Luck Of The Rounds. I had two lip outs today on those birdie putts that could have gone in. Overall though, luck was not much of a factor in any of the three rounds.

Next Round: Saturday, at South Park.

    1. I know we disagree on this but I think putting is king. You putt you score, you don’t, you don’t. I loved your last post on the type of round and playing partners. In fact each of those are a blog in itself. The short version is I never care about the skill of my playing companions as long as they are not slow and have halfway decent etiquette. I love the good ball striking rounds but appreciate the scrambling good score.
