I've been out a couple of times since the last post.
I hit the long ball quite well today and was pleased. I only played 9. Two bogies and one birdie for a total of one over. The ninth hole at Las Po requires a very good tee shot, which I didn't provide, and I needed to pitch out. I wasn't able to sink a 15 footer from past the pin and took bogey.
What was interesting about the 9th was the approach shot. I had 115 to the pin and choked up on a 9 iron, which I've calibrated at 120 carry. So I was expecting less than 120, but I swung very well, and fairly softly, cleared a tree, hit past the pin, and then spun it back a bit. It was one of those creamy, solid strikes that one covets. Could it be possible that a slower swing can provide a full speed club head? Nah!
I was doing a good job staying near plane on many swings and had a lot of birdie chances. It was a very easy 9 holes without much drama.
My putting has been creeping into my areas of interest. I was trying to ensure that I kept the putter face at impact to match that at setup. I used to just swing it and trust, but this was more controlled and I hit a lot of good putts.
