Today marked the first round since the practice day that I didn’t get rained on! It was perfect conditions! As I walked back to my bag after the first drive, Greg and his ‘business associate’ arrived. I gave them a couple quick etiquette tips and off we went!
I missed a jumper for birdie 3 on the first hole, slid onto the ob on the next and missed my par putt on the third. Not exactly a stellar start. I shaved a few strokes off later holes, but missed the birdies in the woods I got yesterday and even bogied one of them thanks to a rushed putt.
Still, I had some great saves, including a 3 from the schule on the ‘Genius’, which had plagued me yesterday. I had smacked another early tree, leaving me a completely blocked 500 feet to the pin. I took my only option, flipping a champ wraith over 10’s tee accross the road and back, which then flexed in and landed 20 feet short and right of the pin! A bunch of spectators went kinda nuts and I had to laugh, couldn’t believe it actually worked. I hit my putt, carding one of the most unlikely birds I’ve ever gotten.
All in all, I finished 4 strokes better than yesterday. I really should be under 60 on the east course, maybe next year!
Looking forward to getting some revenge on the west course tomorrow! Aiming for 55, let’s see what happens :)
