Started on 9th, then went to 1st. Skipped 10, played 11-18, then finished on 10.
Started with 3 pars (9th, 1st + 2nd), then pulled drive left to under fence with no play from there. So took penalty/drop and hit nice 3H out, but then pushed my approach right on green. Decent chip on, but missed putt. Doubled the hole. On 4 drive ended up on sidehill with poor lie. Decided to be smart and not try to muscle it to green, so hit 6 iron back into fairway, but 85 yards short. Hit SW to pin high, but missed putt again. Parred 5th with GIR, then in trouble again off the tee on 6th. Ball ended up behind base of large tree. Could only punch back out to fairway. Then got on and down in 3 from there. Finally hit a decent drive on 7 and again on 8. Realized I was not finishing on previous drives. Once I figured that out, hit good drives the rest of the round, though did end up in fairway bunkers on 11 and 12. Made 5 or 6 10' or longer putts, and also made some long come-backers after going well past the hole on first putt. Shanked a pitching wedge on 12. Think I overswung on that one. Okay round. Could have been better, but I suppose it could have just as easily been worse. I'll take it.
DougEly says:Still trying to match the D2 to my swing. Not there yet. Upgraded shaft has helped a lot. Still looking for the best setting for loft and lie.
