I was looking forward to playing today. There were things that worked well at the driving range and I was oping they would carry over to the course.
Bottom line is that some did and some didn't. On the whole, nothing got worse and irons and short game got better.
I was able to once again prove that a good drive is not required to par a hole. I only hit one and still shot 77.
It is even clearer to me that a short game is more vital than anything. Sure it's nice to hit irons like "frickin' lazer beams," but pitching to 3 feet is wonderful stuff.
I putted well today. Though I did hit a couple fat.
Can I insert a grid? Let me try... Well, it seems not. U/D is up/down, i.e., a chip or pitch to the green. GIR is green in regulation.
Hole Par GIR U/D Score
1 4 Y Y 3 Topped drive, Up and down from 160 yards
2 5 y 5 Topped tee shot!
3 4 y 4 Topped drive, ran out ok
4 3 n y 3
5 4 n n 5 Missed 4 footer for par
6 5 y 5
7 4 y 4
8 3 y 3
9 4 6 Topped a drive into the weeds - nasty
10 4 n y 4
11 3 y 3
12 4 y 4
13 5 n 6 Bunkered drive, hit the lip on the way out. U/D from 100 yds
14 4 y 4 Got it u/d from 80 yds
15 3 y 3
16 4 y 4 First good drive of the day
17 4 y 4
18 5 y 6 Only 3 putt on the day.
So I scored pretty well, but the tee shots make for hard work. Up and down 7 times out of 9. 30 putts. 9 one putts.
I think I get off plane on the driver. I don't remember to do that until the 15th hole or so.
