Started at 64° under hazy skied and an 8 mph breeze. I believe that today was a "test" for me. I started well, and then everything went to hell in a hand-basket. I patience was tested to the max, as was my mental attitude. Personally, I feel as though I handled it pretty well, though at times the temptation was there to really explode. Nothing would have been gained and I would have lost all the hard work I've been putting in on my mental game. Putts that should have taken the break didn't and the straight putts broke. Chips and pitches ran out more that anticipated. I was able to laugh about it after the round with my playing partners, so I did ok. There might have been just a "touch" of expectations there, given the way I've been playing lately, which is why I feel as though it was a test. Lessons learned and Thursday is another day. I'm ecstatic that I did so well on the test! Happy days!
