Since my mother reads this daily, I'm going to try and post more often.
So, off to Wente today, a guest of Phil. Upscale course in Livermore, it's nestled in the hills of southern Livermore with a lot of ups and downs. It used to be used for a Web.com event, but, and I am quoting here, "the pussies on the tour found the course too hard" so they moved it down the road.
I don't think the Web tourney is the area anymore, which is too bad, as I like to take in the occasional tournament.
My focus today was my tee shot, which has been the bane of my golf existence for about 6 years. I was very happy with what I managed. I miss hit a couple of them, but the other 12 were fairly long and very straight. So a successful day.
Wente is a longish course for me, but with a reasonable drive, I was able to get to a lot of the greens. I didn't score very well, as I find when I'm concentrating a lot on a single aspect that scoring is difficult. So the putting was a side thought. I chipped reasonably well, but the greens are bent and there is a lot of slope and grain, so without knowing them very well, it's tough in any case.
Then we had lunch at the grill. Good food, we had the place to ourselves as we teed off at 9:30 and missed the lunch crowd by the time we finished.
I had the number 4 burger, medium. This has lettuce and bacon and was supposed to have some jalapenos, but I couldn't taste them -- very sad.
A glass of red and some water to round it all out.
An early round tomorrow at Los Positas - I'll try to continue my tee shot progress.
