Well I played on Friday ( Canada Day ) at a course called Canal at Delacour. I have never scored well there. My previous best round was a 93. Links style, fescue grass up to your knees, with tight fairways and greens that must be around a 12.

But I shot an 84. Which was very satisfying. The key being the fact I hit 12 fairways and never had to hack out of fescue and give up a shot.

I also got my first eagle. I actually had 2 chances for eagle in the same round. Hit a 5 iron from 220 and rolled it to about 15 feet but missed the putt, easy birdie. Then my second came from a 4 iron from 230 that went right of the green, and I pitched it in the hole from around 35 yards. Great feeling to get one, especially holing one out

And, I also beat my girlfriends stepfather who is a 6 handicap. He shot an 86 ( he had a bad round but I'll take it ). That was kinda satisfying too - has been a small goal of mine.

The course was immaculate, very fast fairways and greens. There was a steady breeze at the beginning of the round and drives were going extremely far.

I had 40 yards out on a 412 yard par 4. No dog leg, It was unreal.

Great day!

    • We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.
