I apologize again for getting behind, but this time I didn't forget to post an update....I just didn't feel like posting an update. As much as yall are tired of reading about bad rounds, I'm 10 times more tired of writing about them. And it's not like the 79 I shot yesterday was that terrible, but it's a 79. Unless this was the U.S. Open at Oakmont in blizzard like conditions, that's a very bad score.
Now, I will admit that I've come to terms with the fact that I struggle immensely when playing in temperatures under 40 degrees. Yesterday, it got up to about 39 degrees and I basically just ran out of gas on the back nine. So, you're probably wondering why am I even bothering trying to play this time of year when I know it's this cold. The only answer I an give you is that I still believe that I can play good golf. I feel like if I can somehow play my game and make a few putts, then I can play anywhere....anytime. Especially after coming back from a nice layoff and getting my game ready to go. It's rounds like today that keep me coming back for more.
Now, in no way am I satisfied with shooting 75 today, but the score is a little misleading. I hit the ball a lot better today throughout the entire round and gave myself a bunch of really good looks at birdie. Unfortunately, I was only able to convert one of them. The few poor swings I made were there, but that's to be expected when trying out new changes for the first time under pressure. The majority of the time, I was pleased with what I saw.
So, once again I'm looking forward to the next event. After the first round, I really needed to play like I did today to find some momentum going forward. The temperatures are supposed to be steadily getting warmer so hopefully there will nothing but low scores to come. I'm going to try and get a practice round in over the weekend and the first round begins on Monday.
