95°, no clouds in sight, and a light breeze all day made for an exciting day of golf. Got paired with an older guy who could only hit it straight and a younger guy that had a rough day.
Danny and I had an interesting day. Danny started off with 2 pars and looked like he was going to be on, and he was good for the front 9, but disaster struck on the back and he finished with a 96.
Me on the other hand had an up and down day. I started with a triple bogey after a drive I hit through the fairway. I then parred the next 6 in a row. I tripled the 8th and finished with a 43 on the front. I hit my driver great, solid irons, but my chipping was off and cost me some shots.
The back 9 fairest interesting. Played longer than expected with some long par 4s and tough par 5s. Double bogeyed a couple of holes, but overall managed an 87: not bad for not playing for 2 weeks.
Swing-wise I had no real issues, again only chipping, and I felt I was scooping the ball instead of hitting down on the ball. When I did that, the shots were better ...duh.
So in summary, good progress after a decent break. My only concern is that I'm not getting any better and sort of plateau-ing, but I'm not sure how to take that big leap from shooting consistently 85 to shooting below 80. Only five strokes a round, but they add up...quickly.
Well that's all for now. I'm still sweating from the round today...but its better than snow.
