Forgot my glove... (long)

[Jay-Bird]

Today I went out to play a quick 9 after work. I got to the 10th tee (played the back) and realized I'd left my glove on the car seat. I am usually very particular about playing with a glove - it's always been a must . Anyway, being that I was out for a casual, solo round I just decided to play without one, but I moved from the tips to the blue tees (3200 yard 9).

I just made certain that my hands were very dry before each shot.

What transpired has me upside down...

10 - par 4 - FW GIR 1 putt birdie 3
11 - par 4 - no GIR 2 putt par 4
12 - par 5 - FW Green in 2, 2 putt birdie 4
13 - par 3 - - GIR 2 putt par 3
14 - par 4 - no no 2 putt bogie 5

On the 15th tee I caught another single, we played the rest together. He was a minister. Maybe there was divine intervention in my round...

15 - par 4 - FW GIR 2 putt par 4
16 - par 5 - no GIR 1 putt birdie 4
17 - par 3 - - GIR 1 putt birdie 2
18 - par 4 - FW GIR 1 putt birdie 3

I hit one club more than I normally hit (with glove) on every approach - figuring that I needed to swing a little lighter than normal to ensure the club didn't slip. The birdie putts on 16,17 and 18 were a combined total of 12-15 feet.

I'm playing league tomorrow without glove.

I'm sorry for bragging about the round, but it has me intrigued.

and therein may be the key to success... you were making more "controlled" swings.
