Golf is a harsh mistress

Played Pacific in their stroke comp today off the whites
Had 10 shots available but needed 15
33 points

1 birdie 7 pars 7 bogies 1 double 1 triple 1 quad

8/14 fairways – drove fairly well today, although Pacific requires hybrid or iron a lot so 6 of my tee shots weren’t driver
Dropped 2 shots from a topped wet hybrid, but did put some pressure on myself with 2 sliced drives

6 GIR – some really good shots today into greens and another 4 holes were just off. But still managed to drop a lot of shots from needing low shots and hitting them poorly
Dropped 6, 4 from hybrids, 1 iron and 1 punch

3/9 up and downs
1/2 LW pitch – no dropped shots
0/2 LW chips – 2 dropped
0/2 LW sand – 2 dropped
0/1 PW chip – 1 dropped
2/3 Texas – 1 dropped

34 putts – 2 3 putts. Greens were very fast today and the 2 3 putts were from over 40 ft so overall happy with the putter

33 points is a chance of being a flag

McLeod next week for my matchplay quarter final

The quad was an extremely ugly performance, and following it with a double involving 2 rubbish punches from the trees in a row ended any chance of a good score

Frustrating bloody game

Just gotta focus on the positive which was a lot of really nice approach shots – that’s where the good scores in the future will come from

Hopefully can build some consistency around the full swing improvements I’ve been working on
