The practice round went well today. It was nice to get back on a course that I've played before. There's a certain level of comfort that comes with being in an area where you grew up. I hope that will translate into a few less nerves this week and lead to some good scores.
The course plays at around 7,000 yards in total distance. The most important key to playing well this week will be driving the ball straight off the tee. There's trouble on every hole whether it be water or out of bounds. I'd say over half of the holes are tight near the landing area. The good news is that all of the par 5's are reachable in two (weather permitting) and the par 3's are very fair. So, the game plan will be to play the par 4's smartly, and try to take advantage of the par 5's.
The forecast this week is very good so far. I'm still struggling with the consistency in my swing, but when things are clicking I'm hitting it as good as I ever have. Let's hope the good shows up tomorrow. Tee time tomorrow is 8:18 off #10. I can't wait to get back out there again.....!
