Beautiful day out. Decided to play with my dad. Playing okay right now. Some things in the swing are a little off, but it will do for now.
#1 - Big drive down the middle. Hit a SW with not enough gas. Tough 1st putt that I left to 5-feet and made the par (E)
#2 - Good driver down the middle. Tried to hit a high 9-iron, but the wind took it and it fell short. Good chip to 3-feet and made par (E)
#3 - Hit a 5-iron well, but missed left. Probably should have hit a 6-iron. Chip went long, but I made a nice 10-footer coming back for par (E)
#4 - So-so driver down the middle. Killed a 3-wood, but found a bunker 85 yards away. Hit a decent shot out of the bunker onto the green. First putt almost went in, but wound up 8-feet bye (40 foot putt, 3% slope downhill on 10 stimp). Pulled the putt and 3-putted for bogey (+1)
#5 - Good hybrid down the midde. Hit an 8-iron onto the green. 2-putted for par (+1)
#6 - I hate this tee because it's badly uneven and I hit one fat and short of the green. Decent pitch to 8-feet. Hung the putt on the lip and made bogey (+2)
#7 - toe -hook into the wood. Punched out. PW onto the green, 2-putted for bogey (+3)
#8 - Good driver down the middle. Played a 3-wood left and drawed it a little bit and into the deep rough. I should probably hit a hybrid or 3-iron there, but instead I wanted to be aggressive for now. Anyway, pitched on and 2-putted for par (+3)
#9 - Good driver down the middle. LW onto the green. 2-putted for par (+3)
#10 - Driver pushed into the water. Dropped. 7-iron onto the green and 2-putted for bogey (+4)
#11 - Good driver down the middle. Skanky 3-wood over into the hazard. Still had a shot and hit it on the green. Was on the bottom tier and aimed at 0 and almost made the putt and came away with a par (+4)
#12 - thin 7-iron into the bunker. I was buried into the bunker with a 4-foot lip. And hit it over the green. Hit a so-so chip to 10 feet and made the bogey save (+5)
#13 - Good driver down the middle. Hit an 8-iron onto the green, just missed the putt and made par (+5)
#14 - Hit a good driver down the right side. Cruel here because I flushed a hybrid at the flag. One of the play partners hit a low hook. My ball took a terrible bounce left. His took a great kick to 5-feet. I almost made an eagle, he makes the eagle. (+4)
#15 - Ugly 8-iron that missed short of the green. Rule of 12 chip (9-iron) to 3-feet and made par (+4)
#16 - Good driver down the middle. Cut a 4-iron right of the bunker. Good pitch and a save for par (+4)
#17 - hit a 3-wood to try it out and crushed. Probably close to 275 yards. But, I hit it too far and was in the woods. Hit a shot onto the green and drained a 35 footer for birdie...double breaker that I played right at 0. (+3)
#18 - I had been hitting fades all day and then I play for it and draw it into the fairway bunker and have no shot and knock it out on the fairway. Hit a nice 9-iron onto the green and 2-putted for bogey (+4)
THOUGHTS: Not a particularly good day out there as I was a bit distracted as my dad wanted help with his swing and the play was slow and then the 2-some we played with quit after 9-holes and then we had to join another 2-some. Arghhhh.
Hit the longer clubs well, had some struggles with the irons. Want to work on some things this week during the PGA Show.
We'll see.
