Indian Boundary 5-22-2010

[Dave H]

I played Indian Boundary on Saturday with my brother and a friend. We had an early tee time - 6:15 which was both good and bad. Good because the pace of play was fantastic and we were done early. Bad because it was foggy and we could hardly see the greens the first three or four holes. I really like this course because it's a real confidence booster for me. There's some trouble to get into, but for the most part the course is pretty open and forgiving. I ended up playing pretty well - I'm on fire with my driver lately. I hit one out of bounds, but that was a skinny, short hole I had no business hitting driver on anyways. I've pretty much come to embrace the fact that a fade is my natural shot off the tee. As long as I put a good swing on the ball, I've stopped slicing the ball. I finally have confidence in the driver!

Iron play is just ok, I'm still mis-hitting a lot of balls but it's not such a bad thing when most tee shots are in the fairway or first cut of rough. Mostly, my misses are when I either 1, don't slide my hips and hit it fat, or 2, stand up in the shot and top the heck out of it.

Putting was horrible. 38 total putts with a 4-putt on one hole. I just couldn't get the feel for the putter. My reads were often good, but I was leaving long putts way short, then going way past leaving myself a long come back putt. Yuck.

Summary:

Score - 92
Fairways - 6/14
Greens - 6/18
Putts - 38
Penalties - 1
