I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory. The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole. I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green. My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing. The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole. I ended up maybe 12 feet away. The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"
For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh. 395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot. Even I couldn't miss that one. I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
