[Dad-2-3]

Played 18 today at the home course from the white tees. 6196 yards, 68.8/122
89.....47/42 6/14 FW, 4 GIR, 28 putts. 1 birdies, 7 pars, 3 bogies, 6 doubles, and 1 triple. 28 putts with no 3 putts. I'm pleased with that, but I struggled mightily off the tee which put mucho pressure on the irons and I flat out folded. I played the Maxfli long and soft. It was long, but not so soft. Wedges and short irons were rolling out way more than usual despite the soft condiitons. It played almost a club longer for me and I flew three greens before I figured it out. What can I say, I'm a slow learner. I'm going back to my 3 piece HX hot bite!

Off the tee.......
I hit Driver 9 times and hit 4 FW. 3w once and hit 0 FW. 2H twice and hit 1 FW.

99.5% of my practice over the past month has been irons and short game, with 70% of the 99.5% being around and on the green chipping/pitching/putting. I obviously need to practice with my long clubs. Staying smooth on the tee and keeping myself from trying to kill the tee shot is part of the problem. I also have a problem with not sticking to my pre-shot routine on the tee box.
