Today's Score: 75
Well, I don't think my putting can get any worse so I'll say that after today it stayed the same. 34 putts in all, 2 putts missed inside 3ft and one 3-putt. Other than that, it was a very good round of golf. The weather wasn't quite like yesterday; it didn't rain but instead the winds picked up to well over 20mph with constant gusts over 30. It was something else and a completely different course than the one I played yesterday. On the second hole of the day, I teed off with a 3-iron as opposed to the 2-iron I hit yesterday and my ball ended up 20 yards further and just a step away from going in the water. That was pretty much how the entire day went. Most of my notes were useless and I had to eyeball what looked like the right club at that time.
But overall, I couldn't be more pleased with how the swing changes that I've been working on for months now are finally starting to pay off. I don't think I missed a single tee shot all day which was even more impressive for me considering the windy conditions and tight layout of the golf course. I felt confident with the driver even though I only had to hit it like 4 times. There were a few instances where a good shot turned out worse than it should of just because of how strong the winds were blowing, but I guess that's to be expected on a day like today. If I could of just cleaned up the little mistakes I made on the greens I'd be looking at an even par round of golf which would be good enough for 2nd place right now. Instead, I'm +4 over and in a tie for 12th.
The forecast for tomorrow is expected to be even colder but with less wind. My plan is to continue to focus on the things I'm working on with my putting and hope that things improve. I've set a goal of 28 putts tomorrow and if I do that, I know a good score will come out of it and put me right where I need to be. My tee time tomorrow is 8:40 off #1.
