Today we played La Cita CC again. It wasn't too hot and we finished in about 3 hours, which is fine by me. Greens still a tad bit bumpy, but course is in pretty good condition.
#1 - Decent driver down the right side. Hit a 3-wood well, but pushed it into the woods. Had an open shot and hit an Equalizer at the flag, but it went about 30 feet bye and I 2-putted for par (E)
#2 - Pushed a 9-iron, but found the green. 2-putted again from 30 feet (E)
#3 - Crunched a driver, but pulled it and went into the fairway bunker. Hit a 6-iron short and left. Tried a bump and run but it stopped on the grass and 2-putted for bogey (+1)
#4 - Good persimmon 3-wood down the left side. Hit a 9-iron well, but pulled it a tad. Then I hit a good first putt, but just missed (+1)
#5 - Good driver down the middle. Flushed a 9-iron to 8-feet and lipped out the birdie (+1)
#6 - Push faded a driver and found the fairway, but a long way into the green. Crunched a 3-hybrid, but it went short of the green (the green is elevated quite a bit). Decent pitch and then lipped out another putt (+2)
#7 - Decent 7-iron to the front part of the green. Not enough gas on the first putt, but made a nice 2.5 footer for the par save (+2)
#8 - Hooked a driver into the woods. Punched out nicely and then hit a 5-iron into the green. 2-putted from 35 feet (+2)
#9 - Over-drawed a driver a bit. Flushed a 7-iron at the flag, but there's a false front there and I wound up on the green, but to go over a hill. Then I lipped out another putt for birdie...3 lip-outs on the front side (+2)
#10 - Hit a driver well, but pulled it into the left rough and had to hit a 9-iron under a tree. Hit the tree and just made the green and I 2-putted from 20 feet (+2)
#11 - Crushed a driver, but pulled it again. Had no shot at the green, so I pitched to the fairway. Didn't quite catch a SW and 2-putted from 20 feet (+3)
#12 - Flushed a 4-iron and it just went into the trap. Good bunker shot to 5-feet, but I burned the edge as the putt never broke. (+4)
#13 - Hooked another driver into the woods. Had a shot and hit it up by the green. Horrible pitch and then 2-putted for par (+4)
#14 - Push fade a driver into the woods, but it bounced into the fairway. Crunched a 3-hybrid, but it went short of the green. Decent pitch to 8-feet, but missed the par save (+5)
#15 - Decent driver down the middle followed by a decent 8-iron. didn't get the putt up high enough and then tapped in from 2-feet. (+5)
#16 - Another well struck driver that I pulled. Tried to draw a 7-iron around the trees, but it went straight. Flopped to 6-feet and it the putt too hard and lipped out. (+6)
#17 - Well struck, pulled 3-hybrid. Nice pitch to a foot and kicked in for par (+7)
#18 - Hit a driver down the middle, but it was a high spinner so it didn't go really far. Crunched a persimmon 3-wood that just carried the water. Pitched to 5-feet and finally made a birdie (+6)
The good news was that I think I only mis-hit one shot all day. The bad news was my clubface control was awful today. I also had poor touch on the greens today. Kind of funny because when I was on the range before the round, I was flushing 2-irons from the very start. I was very tired from a hectic week, but I'll have a lot of work to do next week. Probably will play tomorrow.
