Today I played Eastwood. I hadn't played in 2 weeks because I have a sinus infection that I think may wind up needing to see a ENT specialist to get it fixed. However, it did feel better today once I got outdoors. Course was in pretty good condition, weather was in the upper 80's, but I think East Orlando may have the nicest days in the 80's of any place I've ever been to. I was using the Apex PC's today.
#1 - Good driver down the middle. Hit it about 285 yards. Had a SW in and hit that to 15 feet. Just missed the putt (E)
#2 - Another nice driver down the left side. Had the ball above my feet and my back foot slipped on the downswing and I pulled it and almost went into the water. Hit a great flop shot to a foot and tapped in for birdie (-1)
#3 - Toed a 5-iron into the bunker. Tend to do that on this hole. I think it's an alignment issue throwing my clubhead path off. Hit a long bunker shot a bit too thin and went past the green. Chipped to a foot and kicked in for bogey (E)
#4 - Push fade on a hole you can't push fade it. Hit a great 7-iron layup thru a crease in the trees beautifully to 30 yards away. Too much on the pitch and lipped out a 30 footer for par (+1)
#5 - Decent driver down the middle. Hit a 3-iron to 40 feet and had a good 2-putt (+1)
#6 - Toe draw into the left fairway bunker. Wound up catching the left lip and the ball scooted out about 60 yards. Laid up on the next shot. Put my SW to 15 feet and 2-putted for bogey (+2)
#7 - Nice drive right down the middle. Hit a 7-iron to 15 feet and 2-putted from there (+2)
#8 - Good 5-iron to 30 feet or so and 2-putted again (+2)
#9 - Hit a good driver, but found the left rough and that puts me up against the mound. Tried to hit a 4-iron but caught it a little chunky and into the bunker. Mediocre bunker shot and a 2-putt from 20 feet for bogey (+3)
#10 - Good driver down the middle. Decent 3-wood up the left side and a 6-iron to 30 feet and a 2-putt for par (+3)
#11 - Good driver down the middle, hit a 5-iron a little chunky and short of the green. I then had a nice chip to a foot and kicked in for par (+3)
#12 - Probably my best swing of the day with a 3-hybrid and it went short on this 218 yard par-3 into the wind. Used a 9-iron based on the Rule of 12 and knocked it to 2-feet and saved par. (+3)
#13 - Good driver down the middle. The second shot on this hole is a complete guess becaue you can't see the green at all and I guessed right to about 12 feet and made the birdie. (+2)
#14 - Made decent contact with a 4-iron, but a poor swing and the ball found the right bunker. Caught another bunker shot a tad thin and went over the green. Then a poor chip and a 2-putt and made double (+4)
#15 - Best driver all day, great driver. Hit a choked up 8-iron to 10 feet and made the birdie (+3)
#16 - Terrible driver that got lucky and found by the ladies tee which is about 200 yards ahead. Hit a pretty good 3-wood and then a decent 9-iron to 15 feet, but 2-putted for par (+3)
#17 - Made good contact with the driver, but pull draw into the left rough. Tough lie and caught a 6-iron chunky. Bad pitch and a 2-putt for bogey (+4)
#18 - So-so driver down the left side. Hit a decent 7-iron but had to 2-putt from 40 feet to save par
Not really a great game of golf as I was expecting more give my last few range sessions were pretty good. Got a bit lazy with my footwork and having not been out there in awhile I probably got a little tired on the backside. Sprayed the driver a bit, struggled with some of the irons on the backside. Inconsistent chipping but putted better. Just need to get the speed better with the putting and I think I'll get there.
