Six of These, Half Dozen of Those

I had another one of "those" rounds today. I didn't drive very well, so it felt like a scramble for par for the whole round. Here's the best drive of the day:




Probably 10 to 20 yards shorter than drives I was hitting last week. I'm just not making solid contact. My iron play is what saved my score. I've been feeling so good about my irons, I took the hybrids out of my bag and slipped the 3 & 4 irons back in. I play CG4 tours, but I'm hitting a solid straight 210 yard 3 iron.

So the 223 yard drive was on #15, a par 5, and a 3 iron then a 5 iron got me to here:





And, just to show that you just can't won sometimes. Here's the result of the birdie putt:




My best string of holes was #8 through #10, three GIRs in a row.

#8, I nailed a 6 iron to the front of the green, but 2 putted.



#9, I left the driver in the bag and corked a 3 iron to about 70 yards and used the gap wedge to get close. The only birdie of the round:



#10 was a GIR for par, but again left the driver in the bag: 3 iron then a 6 iron to the back of the green and a 2 putt. I parred #5, #6, #8, #10 and #15, but only used the driver on #5 and #10. The rest of it was scrambly gritty bogie golf.




Ended up shooting an 85, but it felt like it was over 100. I'm not back out until Thursday so hopefully it'll be out of the system by then.
