The Good News: This was the best round of golf I've played so far.
The Bad News: I still shot a 73.
The day started out slow as we were delayed for over 3 hours due to fog. My original tee time was 8:51, but it was after 12:00 before I ever teed off. Once we got started, the conditions were as good as you could ask for. It was a sunny 85* degree's, the course was in perfect condition, and the greens were rolling well. This was the round I had been waiting for to really come out and shoot a good score. I hit 16 out of 18 greens, and 10 out of 14 fairways. The only problem was I had 36 putts to go with it. A good putting day is anywhere from 24-30 putts and I was well over that. Included in that total of 36 was four 3-putts. I have to say that I am surprised at how poorly that part of my game was today. I have been putting well as of lately and had confidence going into today. If anything, it has been my putting that has kept my rounds at decent scores and today was the exact opposite.
If tomorrow is anything like today, there is definitely a good chance for a low score. There will be plenty of time before I tee off to work on my putting at the course. With the length of delay we had this morning, it looks like I won't be teeing off until about 3:00 tomorrow. That means we'll most likely get in about 9 holes of our second round and then have to finish up on Thursday. That's all for now.....'til next time!
