Timacuan G.C. - Third Round

Today's Score: 72

It's funny how the other time I made the cut I shot the exact same scores just in a different order. Today was the most consistent my game has been all week. I only had one really poor shot that cost me a double bogey. The two bogies that I made starting out weren't that great either, but it was early in the round and sometimes it takes a few holes to get settled down. I did manage to make 4 more birdies today that helped offset the bad holes. That put my birdie total for the last three days at 15. I'll take that every week. Now, I've just got to continue tightening up my game and limiting the amount of bogies I make and I'll start finding myself in contention.

There is one shot that I want to talk about from today. Sooooooo, I might of fibbed a little earlier when I said that I only had one really poor shot. In fact, on the very next hole (a par-5), after making double bogey, I drove the ball left into the water. At that point, I wasn't too happy. I went up to where my ball had crossed the hazard and took my drop. Due to the lie, I was forced to hit a 7-iron and lay up to the 100 yard marker. Well wouldn't you know that it only took one good swing from there as I watched my ball hit right next to the pin and spin back in the hole for a birdie (4). Good thing scorecards only care about what you made and not how you made it!

All in all, it's been another successful week. Anytime you make the cut it's definitely a goal accomplished. I'm going to keep working on my game and hopefully improve going forward. This Saturday is Erika and I's one year anniversary and we had planned on celebrating by going to Disney. Unfortunately, she caught the flu yesterday and is not feeling well at all. I ask that yall keep her in your prayers and hopefully she'll return to good health real soon. And if I know Erika, the next opportunity we get to go to Disney we'll be there. ; )
