August Medal yesterday, and after an ok round the day before I was hoping for an improvement towards a cut.
Nothing worse than a double but with 6 of them on the card I needed as many pars at least to dilute them, which I equalled, but with 1 being the par 5 17th where I don’t get a shot I scored 45 out (36) and 47 in (37) to finish +3 and just in buffer after fighting hard and knowing I had to par the 18th to achieve that.
Don’t know the css yet, hoping for it not to change at 73 but with some crazy 65’s and 66’s in and 30 scores under 73 due to hard running conditions, I’m expecting it to change and find myself with a .01 😟
Sunday roll up this morning to hopefully rectify some silly errors I made, especially on our par 5’s where I got greedy with big 2nd shots and ended up scrambling 3 bogeys & 2 doubles when I should have just played them safely in regulation.
Lots of positives with the new swing though, nothing wild but sometimes got a poor bounce leaving me to take my medicine and chip out of the heavily treelined fairways.
Choice of wedge (bounce) is critical in these tight lie conditions, i chunked and knifed a couple which isn’t like me which cost me shots, I left a good 6-8 silly and avoidable shots out there so confident there’s a couple of cuts at least still to come this season.
