7/25/8 isaac's birthday

hole 1-
hooked hybrid into drink (24 deg)
really need to watch alignment and tempo

6 iron to green from 150, 2 putts for 5

hole 2
4 wood right, 4 wood to 100, wedge on, 2 putts
last round driver went left, either left or right okay on this hole, left is in the fairway though

hole 3
24 degree to fairway, 8 iron long from 130
downhill chip was okay, but raced by. 1st putt really short. 2 putts later, double bogey

hole 4
7 iron went straight--WATCH ALIGNMENT and trust swing.
blast out of berm and chip from fringe to 4', 1 putt bogey

hole 5
4 wood to fairway, 6 iron to fringe, 1 chip and 1 putt. par
take time and swing easy on approach shots

hole 6
21 degree hit 210. 28 degree to 120. 9 iron on (GIR)
1st putt lips out hard. 2nd putt lips out soft. 3rd putt goes in.

hole 7
4 wood left. 9 iron short. try bump and run short. chip and 2 putt

8 iron 135 right club, chip and 2 putt

hole 9
21 degree to fairway 210
200 left
9 iron to middle island, 100 left
chunk 50 degree wedge into water
chip and 3 putt. grrr.
still trying to figure out strategy on this hole. carry it up left side off tee.

hole 10
hook tee shot into lateral (4 wood). remember to aim on right side and draw ball in!!!!!!!
7 iron, 7 iron, landed in sand short. blast out to 8 feet and miss putt by inch. double bogey even with ob and sand.

water is not in play. 7 iron to 10 feet. downhill sidehill putt hit badly, left 2 foot short. short putt for par

hole 12-
21 degree hybrid to fairway, 28 degree hybrid to right side of fairway, kicked right landed on cartpath and rolled into berm. take aim carefully!
blast out. chip to 8 foot. 2 putts for bogey

hole 13-
7 iron hit tree again on right. fanning shots on this hole because of the visual intimidation of the tree. it is a 6 iron hole, consider hitting 6 iron? bad choice to putt from fringe with lots of fringe and slope and 2 putted after that for bogey

hole 14-
4 wood left. real left.
blind 9 iron from uphill lie about 20 yards short of green. perfect. i was aiming at the fork tree but the ball flew 20 yards left from where i was standing and was perfect. hole is shorter than i think.
9 iron bump and run didn't run so much. 9 iron chip good, but watch slope of hole
BIG LEFT TO RIGHT SLOPE. 2 putts for double

hole 15
duff 21 degree short.
hit 6 iron to 125 to center.
soft 9 iron into wind, uphill like flew green into nice house backyard
drop, chip and 2 putt. for double bogey.
can't make 2 bad mistakes on one hole.

4 wood to right, 28 degree to just off green, over water. chip badly and 2 putt. bogey.

hole 17
21 degree perfect 220 yards in middle of fairway
28 degree to sand, don't aim too far right on this hole, take sand out of play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7 iron to water somehow from sand.

hole 18
21 degree hook to fairway 210 yards away
soft 6 iron landed on green and rolled into fringe from 150
chip to 6 feet. putt just misses and bogey.

6 fairways
2 gir
36 putts
1 lost ball and 2 water balls.
1 bunker shot, out no problem to 8 feet but missed the putt by 1" left
3 pars
1 8-still don't have a round without an 8 in it. i realized some things: i don't need anything longer than 21 deg hybrid to par any given hole for gold 6300 yard tees. there are only 2 holes i can't score par on (9,17), barring a miracle. (although i did par one of them once). the rest of the holes, par is a reasonable possibility. i'm starting to find my misses with blind landing areas and that really drops the score a lot. putting is a lot better, taking a lot of pressure off. still have some really bizarre shots- i flew a green into lateral hazard staked area into wind from uphill lie 130 to center with 9 iron. still have some stupid mistakes-laid up with wedge from 200 yards because of water in front of green. then plopped next wedge shot into the water. dumb. i can still manage a bogey on almost any hole with 1 mistake-which is a great score for me. got a lesson for tomorrow to see why i am suddenly hooking the tee shots and skyballing them.
