My parents are in town for the weekend and today my dad and I played North Shore. The weather was really nice for a Florida summer..cloudy with some sprinkling and about 80*. I had been busy all week long, running around like a chicken with my head cut off and I was busy today, so my focus wasn't exactly sharp. Course was in fantastic shape.
#1 - Pretty good driver into the wind. Woefully short pitch to 30 feet. 2-putted for par (E)
#2 - Good driver down the middle. The fairway has a hump in the middle and I was on the up-slope of the hump. Hit a pretty good 8-iron that went right up into the air but found the green. Really good 2-putt from here given the amount of break (E)
#3 - Hit the driver well, but we were going into a tough wind and I pulled it a tad. Tried the Cleveland Persimmon 3-wood, but pulled it and hit like crap. Had a long bunker shot and hit that too fat. Then 2-putted from 20 feet (+1)
#4 - The weather started to storm and the wind was in our face big time. Hit a good driver down the middle. Hit a good 3-hybrid, but it feel well short. Pretty much hit a pitch shot the way I wanted to, but the ball didn't kick left like I expect. Wound up making a 10 foot putt anyway. (+1)
#5 - Really good driver down the middle Hit a LW full swing but too much and then 2-putted from 20 feet (+1)
#6 - Bad, pulled 3-wood that wound up okay. Good pitch to 5 feet, but lipped out the putt (+2)
#7 - Hit an 'upswing' driver and smoked it. Then hit a 3-hybrid well and only had a LW into the green. Full swing with LW, but it never spun back like I thought it would and then hit the 12 foot birdie putt too hard (+2)
#8 - Lousy struck 9-iron that found the green. 2-putted from 32 feet (+2)
#9 - Used the upswing driver swing and freaking crushed it. Easily gained about 50 yards. Then I hit the Cleveland Persimmon really well, but found the waste bunker. There's no rakes on this bunker and I wound up in front of a footprint. Squeeked the ball barely onto the green and 2-putted from 40 feet (+2)
#10 - Very good driver down the middle. Hit an Equalizer to 20 feet and lipped out the birdie putt (+2)
#11 - Open face driver push faded the ball into the right rough. Good 3-wood persimmon and then a nice 9-iron to 20 feet and the putt had the speed, but never broke (+2)
#12 - I tried to hit a fade on this hole but just pulled the hell out of it. Then I tried to draw a 3-iron, but pushed it into the trees. Punched out with a 5-iron. Hit a pitch about 8 feet past and then drilled the bogey save (+3)
#13 - Upswing driver, but hit it too high and found the fairway, but really didn't gain any distance. Flushed a 7-iron to 5 feet and drained the birdie (+2)
#14 - Pushed a 6-iron a bit and then had an impossible first putt. Great read, but a little too much speed. And then made a good par save from 8 feet (+2)
#15 - Pushed faded another driver into the right rough. Hit a good 3-iron that went under the trees and ran forever and almost went into the water. Probably rolled close to 60 yards. Hit a SW, but basically hooked it. That was strange. Then I made a 30-footer for birdie (+1)
#16 - Hit a driver and almost went into the hazard. Good pitch to 10 feet, and lipped out the birdie (+1)
#17 - Caught a 4-iron a little off the heel and found myself short. Tough pin position and knocked my pitch to 8-feet and missed the par save (+2)
#18 - Good driver down the middle. Had a good lie with a 4-iron, but caught it really fat. Good pitch to 10 feet, but missed the par save (+3)
Not one of my best efforts out there today. Hit the driver well on the front side, struggled with it on the back 9. Probably need to stop trying to hit upswing drivers since it messes up my swing on the other shots. Hopefully tomorrow at La Cita I'll have my A game.
