Bit off today at Mt Warren Park, which was in pretty good condition and played tough in quite strong wind
My 14 19 33 off 11 was equal 2nd best score of our 12, but Sandy smashed the field with a 38
7 pars 9 bogies 1 double 1 triple
Felt worse than that as I didn’t drop a putt all day and seemed to manage bad bounces whenever I gave the course a chance to bite me7/14 fairways – 1 dropped shot off the tee on 1 when my drive stayed in a tree it bounced up into which led to my wipe on the opening hole. Overall drove pretty well
5 GIR – 4 shots dropped from iron shots that left me in places that were difficult to get up and down and in 1 case required a dropped. Bit disappointing because of a couple of pushed 5 irons that cost me including a drop – they weren’t that far off line but they just bounced into bad spots. The wind certainly added to the challenge of finding the green.
5/13 up and down – dropped 5 shots
1/6 PW chips but only 2 dropped shots as the others were either not realistic up and downs (1) or were inside 6ft so the penalty is on the putter (2)
1/3 LW chips – 2 shots dropped
3/4 Texas – 1 dropped33 putts – dropped 4 from 2×3 putts and 2 missed up and downs inside 6ft I should have made
Not a terrible score considering I didn’t feel I played well, the wind made things very tough and I got some tough bounces so no complaints. Only major disappointment was mishit LW pitch and then PW chip and 3 putt on 1 leading to a wipe when it should have been at least a double and a point.

He came down a bit from his performance
Still a way to go for a guy with the short game of a scratch marker
Better play today off 9 at Colonial, although stumbled my way home when it could have been an excellent round
Started off 18 in shotgun and was 2 over after 11 with 1 birdie and 3 bogies
But then went double double and got the hooks with driver so was 7 over the last 7 with the 2 doubles and 3 bogies
But 36 points isn’t something to complain about and 81 is solid golf so happy Weetie
Was a 4BBB and we had 45 points for 3rd of count back for 2nd. Winners had 49 with one of the pair having 45 all by himself!38 front 43 back for 21 and 15 points – 9 over 81 and 36 points
1 birdie
9 pars
6 bogies
2 doubles9/14 fairways – driver started great bit got hooky at the end – not sure if I was closing the face ar address – something to work on at the range. 1 dropped shot from a hook straight into trees.
8 GIR – best number for a while and also had 7 other holes where I wasn’t far off leaving straight forward PW chips or Texas wedges. Dropped 2 shots from a wet 6i pushed off the tee on the par 3 12th. Only real shocking iron shot all day.
5/12 up and downs – chipped quite well including a chip in birdie on 1 and 2 others that were close.
3/8 PW chips – 4 dropped shots as 1 was for GIR on a par 5, also the chip in saved a shot
1/2 Texas – 1 dropped
1/1 LW sand – dropped a 20ft par putt so the save belongs to the putter, but it was a very good sand shot just couldn’t aim at the flag31 putts – 2 3 putts – greens were pretty poor today but they didn’t cause the 3 putts – both were from weak first putts downhill
Overall very happy – hopefully I can sort the driver out
But struck the ball well mostly, and chipped pretty well for me2 users liked this post.
What is a Texas wedge? A chipper?
Putter from off the green
Texas courses are legendary for being hard and flat and windy so the story goes that chipping is hard so they use putter a lot

Down to 10.3 GL – played to 10.0
Could have easily been better today – hope I can get the front nine form going consistently
0.9 to go to my next goal

I have made it harder for myself by dropping a shot already – but I’ll happily drop more if I can keep hitting the ball well
Only 10 strokes to go Weeti. You have plenty of time.
