Today's Score: 70
Another good day. I hit a lot of solid shots, continued to make a few putts and was able to shoot another good score. Unfortunately, I still managed to leave a few strokes out there but I'm definitely pleased with how this tournament turned out. I'm starting to realize more and more about what it takes to shoot certain scores. The difference between shooting 75 and shooting 70 is clearly putting. Keeping the ball in play certainly helps, but in general I've noticed that every time I shoot a 70 I'll usually have less than 30 putts in the round. Now the difference between shooting 70 and shooting 67 is walking off the 18th green and being able to say that you didn't leave a single shot out on the course. That means taking advantage of opportunities when you get the chance, not throwing away strokes from poor decisions, getting up-and-down when you're supposed to and of course making putts.
As I look back over the last two days, I feel like if I would of done all those things I just mentioned I could of been about 5 strokes lower. I know that this is getting a little picky and I should be happy that I finally made a check, but I also believe in continuing to push myself and setting higher goals. My game is finally coming around and I expect to shoot lower scores as I move forward.
Tomorrow is supposed to be my practice round day for the next event, but I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. I'm usually not very superstitious, but I did feel awfully good on this last golf course without playing a practice round. I'll probably head out there in the morning and go from there. The next event starts Thursday.
Finish: T6
