Well I should have stayed in bed today
It was NASTY out w a Capital N....wow

Weather:
8º C....yes 8º C today w winds gusting up to 55km/hr
Overcast and slight drizzle w on and off rain

Round: Holiday Park Back Tees, 70.7 / 116 Par 71

1-BOGEY - pulled driver left, hit approach over the trees to approx. 88 yds straight into the wind. Hit to the back of the green left myself 22 paces to the flag. 3 putt to bogey....arrggh.......I harte this hole. Its not that hard either.Straight away Par 5 495 yds. Not sure why I cant score on it

2-BOGEY - didnt grab anough club, came up short and left. Hit approach to 4 paces, 2 putt bogey.

3-BOGEY - pulled hooked drive left, punched out of trees (like yesterday), hit approach just off the back, chipped to 1 foot and one putt bogey.

4-BOGEY - nutted drive to left cente of the fwy (finally), hit approach pin high....in the greenside bunker..... hit out to approx. 10 paces (hard sand) and 2 putt bogey.

5-BOGEY - group ahead of me waive me on when i wasnt ready to tee. Guessed on the yardage, realized i had too much club and tried to hit a 1/2 5i.....right into the water...damn.....dropped in drop zone, chipped to one foot and one putt bogey. (this could have been a lot worse than a bogey...this is a scramble in my mind, but didnt count it as one)

6-PAR - nutted drive up the middle, in a divot (thats 3 divots in 2 days, seriously??!!!!) chunked 4w out of the divot short of the green. Hit a wicked SW to approx. 5 paces (elevated green, i was below the hole) drained iot for PAR...finally.

7-PAR - nutted 3w just barely out of the fwy in the 1st cut, in guess what... A FRICKEN DIVOT!!!!!!!!!!!! hit GW short of the green (not enough club again), chipped on to 4 paces and drained the par putt.

8-BIRDIE - 150 yds, straight side wind, hit 8i into the wind and let it cut back into the pin. Though it was going in, landed it 2 ft from the pin. It was starting to rain pretty good by now, gave myself the putt for bird.

9-PAR - big ol tail wind, nutted drive just barely in the first cut, 160 yds to the pin, bunker in front. Aimed left, let the wind slightly cut it into the pin, landed it 4 paces to the flag. Lipped bird out, par.

Total Score: 39 (par 35)





Stats:

Fwy's Hit-2/6 = 33% (but 3 of the holes, were just barely in the first cut)
Putts-14 = 1.55%
Putt Distance=6 paces on average
GIR-3/9 = 33%
Putts per GIR - 6/3 = 2 per green
Scrambling - 2/6 = 33%
Penalties - 1 (water hazard on 5)

As i stated up top, it was brutal out today
I'll take a 39 in today's weather any day of the week - it was tough man
need to book a lesson, as I seem to pulling driver and long irons left (coming OTT maybe......prob quick fix)
Ned to eliminate the penalites
Hit one more green then yesterday and scored one stroke better
also hit one more fwy - so Rebby's advice on hitting more fwy's and GIR's to score lower is spot on

until tomorrow......

PS - still no baby

    • Day 313 - I played 18 today. First and last holes were ugly, but I actually played pretty well. Driver was great, irons were alright, and the short game was better than average. 
    • Day 205 (23 Nov 24) - Worked with the alignment rod and 7i  in reference to ball position in relation to lead foot on full iron shots, noticed an increase in thinned shots last couple of rounds - better contact with the balls (hard foam) during the drill/swing rehearsals.
    • Have you gone to a fitting? A good fitting will not only give you a clubhead but a shaft, etc. that will suit you.
    • It's not like the Nike Vapor Pro are exactly a highly sought set of irons.
    • Last night I was putting my Nike Vapor Pro Irons back in my bag.  I had my sons i500’s in there the last couple months after we all went to Top Golf .  I picked up the Nike’s this past spring and they are like new.  I feel guilty using them… I have other irons that aren’t valuable that I could use instead.
