back 9 played today/ shot 53!

it's amazing how much the course opens up when you are not afraid of sand.

i feel pretty good about today's half round-
trying to draw the ball i took a couple of penalties when the ball went straight or sliced

lost 2 balls only
it's amazing how different the course looks if you aren't afraid of being in the sand. had 3 sand events today, 1st one trickled in and caught under lip. no stance, no shot so i bunted it forward into the main part of bunker and popped out. other two sand shots popped out and landed on near side fringe and rolled through green, stopping on other side fringe. need to learn how to control distance, but at least out in one.

5 putts lipped out.

had first birdie of the year! par 3. amazing how good you feel when you have a birdie. 7iron to 10 feet. concentrated real hard and ball rolled to cup, paused on edge and then barely fell in.

another great shot-170 yard 5 hybrid from under tree branches to protected island green. barely cleared water, bounced up off upslope somehow and rolled onto green.
yes!

need to focus on weight shift/tempo
working on that draw the pro wants me to hit
