I played off the tips at Triggs this afternoon. Never have broken 90 off the tips. Started out with a borderline topped 3W and made a double. Parred 2 with a 6iron in that was as long as the nearly topped drive.

I played steadily, short game was on fire. On a short par 5 I tried to layup with a PW and chunked it into fescue, then chunked a GD 9iron as well. Carded a double.

Next hole is an uphill 200yd. par 3. I yanked a 3iron so far left it was in the fairway of a par 4. I hit the greatest shot of my life and that I've ever seen, anywhere. A full flop SW over a tree that was 4 stories high to 10ft. Virtually impossible shot. You'd have to see it to believe it and even then, see it again. Holed the putt and I was on a mission.

9th hole I blocked a drive, hit an 8iron over the trees, short left, shortsided. Pitched it over a bunker and holed it for birdie. 39 with 2 doubles on the par 35 front.

On the back I screwed up the par 5's again. There are 3 and I played them 6,6,7 as well as a 5 on nasty little par 3. Sitting at 36 with 3 par 4's to go.

Popped up a 3w on the 16th, dogleg left. I hit a massive high cut 9iron, almost threw my back out, onto the back fringe. I fecked up the downhill chip out off a downhill lie sitting in the junk and made a 5.

#17 is 2 cap but should be 1. Tight drive through the trees, uphill to a plateau and playing 412... more like about 430 IMO. I hit a drive up the left side just finding the 1st cut. Hit a 6 on and 2 putted for par. I'm still in it.

#18 is 410 dogleg left. I setup for a baby draw and guess who showed up.... quack, quack, Mr. f'ing duckhook. Thankfully it stayed on a bare lie far enough away from the tree in front of it to work with. From 205 I hit a trapdraw 3iron, hooked it around and onto the back fringe. I picked a spot, hit a perfect chip, she hit, rolled, broke right into the hole from 35-40ft.. Another birdie and an 83 off the blue monsters.

I guess this says something for the short game practice. No matter how many crap shots I hit, it's tough to go over 90 with 30 putts and 2 chip-in's, lol.
