Went on another tear this weekend...
Started on the par 4 10th and promptly rolled in a 15ft putt. (-1)
#11 Par 5, laid up then put a wedge to 12-15, downhill right to left, just missed low. Par (-1)
#12 Par 3, into wind hit 7 to 15-18ft, missed by about half inch, went 6 inch by. Par (-1)
#13 Par 5, big drive so went for green in two, slight draw with 3 iron, finished to the left of the green & greenside bunker on a bare dirt lie to tight pin. Made bogey (Sq)
#14 Par 4, our second hardest hole, good drive bad hook for second, lipped for par. Bogey (+1)
#15 Par 3, 8 iron to 18 inches, bird. (Sq)
#16 Par 4, decent drive, full wedge to 20ft, downhill right to left, holed. Bird (-1)
#17 Par 4, pushed drive, out of position trees between ball & green, tried to punch a 4 iron, got it too good rose too quick, just clipped a branch, dropped straight down. Hit wedge to 9 ft, lipped. Bogey (Sq)
#18 Par 4, dogleg left, hit draw to tight to dogleg, backswing impeeded by tree, punched 3 iron, just short of green, failed to get up & down, bogey (37, +1)
#1 Par 4, good drive, 9 iron to 8-10ft, didn't look like missing, bird. (Sq)
#2 Par 5, so so drive just off fairway on dodgey lie, play safe and hit real solid 5 iron, 80m short. Overcook a knockdown Sand Wedge out back of green, knock in 6ft putt for par (Sq)
#3 Par 4, short one... downwind... alot of trouble off tee so take rescue (as I always do, eagle last time remember), get it high on club so the wind gets it and pushes it right, where the OB is... hit provisional, duff it, luckily the first is still in but behind tree, tough shot to green but take it on, get a bad bounce short of green and bounces right... the one place you don't wanna go, take bogey after leaving putt 3 inches short. (+1)
#4 Par 3, bad hook off tee, take bogey (+2)
#5 Par 5, into wind, good drive, real good second, full SW to 15-18ft. A little downhill, but saw the line and rolled it in. Bird. My 5th in a round and that's a PB. (+1)
#6 Par 3, 186m, wind off left, hurting a touch. Hit 4 iron solid to 15-18ft, but a sizeable break, getable, but don't give it enough, plus hit it weak. Make 4ft for par. (+1)
#7 Par 4, hardest hole on course, bad drive hooked, hits tree and pops back out just short of start of fairway, only about 100m from tee... (thinking oh-oh been here before in choaking rounds), hit great 16* rescue 40m short of green, a little bump and run 9 iron (precentage play as opposed to aggressive SW or Lob) to 6ft, hole a left to right for par save. (+1)
Now back into a stiff breeze for both #8 (Stroke 3) & #9 (Stroke 9). Need to only drop one for my PB...
#8, good drive, still 135m to front with a pin 10m on, hit 5, should've hit 4 iron... short left, shortsided, just miss putt for tap-in bogey, missed opportunity... (+2)
#9, 349m, bunker left, trouble right in way of trees, hit it rightish... could still be ok with some luck, depends on how far it went. As I had used my luck up on #7, I'm dead. two choices are a chip sideways or try a near impossible forced hook with a window of 5ft. Let's just say I'm not Mickelson... I pull the ball 6 ft left of where I intended to go (something that normally happens when you try to force a draw). I'm still 120m out from front, into the wind. Pin 10 on. Go super aggressive and hit 6. Wind gets it and it finishes 25ft short. With nothing to lose I give the putt a chance but just sides by and runs on 5ft, a slider right to left about a cup and a half of break. Solid putt holed for 75 (+3).
Equalled my PB a our course of +3... so gotta be happy... 8.8 index will drop again.
