Today's Score: 72
Well, score wise today got a little better again. In fact, for a while there it looked like today might of been a pretty special round. Right out of the gate, I was making putts and after 5 holes I was -4 under par. I had made three good putts and got up-and-down on the par-5 4th. I wish I wouldn't of been, but honestly I was quite surprised to see that many putts go in in a row. It felt good. On the 6th hole, things got a little shaky. I hit a poor drive in the fairway bunker and left myself 163 yards to the hole. It was into the wind, so I decided to take 2 clubs extra and ended up making a pretty sloppy swing. Those two swings lead to a double-bogey (6). That stopped the momentum alright cause I went on to bogey the next hole to move back to -1 under for the round. I parred in and turned at -1 under (35).
On #10, I got to work on my left-handed swing since my ball came to rest right up against a fence. Thankfully, it was a par-5 and I was able to hit my third shot on the green and save par. I followed that up with a chip-in birdie on #11 to get to -2 under. It was a fairly simple shot about 15ft below the hole. From there, I hit a great shot into the par-3 12th to about 12ft underneath the hole but ended up 3-putting for bogey. I wasn't trying to be aggressive on the first putt but I ran it by about 3ft and missed it coming back. It was pretty rocky trying to get to the clubhouse from then on. My swing felt off....I started guiding the ball a lot and didn't really hit a good shot for the remainder of the round. I finished with a bogey on #18 to end at even par for the day.
It was another foggy/rainy/misty/cold day which made for sloppy conditions again. I guess I can't be too upset with the way I was hitting it because this event was all about patience. I felt like I stayed calm the majority of the time. I ended up finishing tied for 11th which was good enough to pick up a check. Feels good!
Another practice round tomorrow before our final event of the series that begins on Thursday. That one will be played at The Woodlands again, except this time on the other course (Panther Trail). I'll try to have a preview up tomorrow night. Hope everyone is doing well.
