Made most all my goals for the year today :D

[bnz506]

I made a complete swing change for this year, last year I was normally a 120-130+ per round player... so my goals for this year was to break 110 at least once (which I felt was going to be pretty tough given my history), no more 10s on a hole, and make my first birdie.

Today was my best golf ever (so far), I felt really good after yesterdays 9 holes where I ended the day with par, par, par in very windy conditions(I have never had more than 2 pars in a round let alone consecutively).

I already had some 10s early in the year :( so this goal was not met

The thing I was really happy about besides the score was that every shot I hit was pure, it sounded good and felt good (I had a couple of blow up holes though).  I had no swing thoughts clouding my mind today, i just stepped up to the ball and hit the ball.

Today, I made another birdie (my 2nd of the year, my first coming yesterday or two days ago dont remember), It was on a par three, I nearly hole in one the shot!

Last year I was a 190 yard driver, this year more around 190-230, today I hit my longest drive ever 312 yards dead straight!! (Although I did get a little help from a down slope in the fairway)

Putting was amazing too... many 2 putts and 3 putts (better than my usual 2 putts, 3 putts, and 4-5 putts)

I not only broke 110 but I smashed it with a 96 :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

48 on the front and back, If it wasnt for two holes where I shot a 9 and a 8, I would have had a even better round :)

I am just so happy... I LOVE GOLF!!!

Thanks!

I have to thank my Grampa's Brother (is that my great uncle?) for inspiring me to start playing... hes 90 years old still and plays every couple of weeks.

edit:

Also, Im very superstitions and now im stuck with another superstition... all my good rounds of golf this year came when I was wearing a white polo, I was wearing a white polo today... and so from now on when I golf I will have to wear a white polo :D

The golf Gods giveth and taketh away... after my best golf ever on Sunday... I pretty much shot one of my worst scores (67 on 9 holes).

The greens were crazy fast in the earlier holes and crazy slow on the last few holes (Does the sun or lack of sun have an affect on green speed?)

My drives were horrible... My first tee shot was a huge draw into the adjacent fairway to the left every drive after that was a fade into the right rough... there were a lot of trees and almost always the only option was a lateral chip back into the fairway.

I ended the round 10-9-10 :(

I could also be because I did not wear my white polo (all my good rounds of golf this year has been when I wore my white polo).  Yes I am very superstitions.

Sounds like that's your version of the red and black sunday Tiger.
