Bumping and Running into some good luck

[McGolf-Doggie]

Nothing like a sunset round to make you feel good, and the short game working to make you feel better.

Only had to make 13 putts on the nine holes this evening (normally around 17-20 putts per).

And that happened despite about 6 or 7 "pure crap" shots, including 3 of 4 blown long tee shots, and two fiacso shots from the sand. But I'll gladly take the 39.

I don't typically bump and run much, but the LW seemed a little cold, so after blading one, I went conservative and used the bump and run where it made sense.

I have this one odd club -- a Titleist DCI 762 Pitching Wedge, that I feel much better about bumping and running with, than the TM RAC that came with my set. And tonight it just seemed that most of the time I used it, even with 30 yarders, it was rolling them up close to the pin for an easy putt.

Either that, or the scoring came via an iron to the green / fringe.

While the long game can be more impressive, the short game is all stealth.

People playing with you half the time don't realize how you're saving major strokes, but I guess it's what happens when when you chip or pitch up close enough to one-putt.

Just one of those nights. Golf will probably bring me back to reality soon.
