Today I went out to the soaked course and played 18. Throwing some serious darts with my wedges, nothing over 10ft. off the ground, even with the 60*.

I actually broke 40 on the front side for the 1st time with 39. On 9 I hooked a 3W and then hit the green with 7i over a 5story pine to 3 1/2 feet and missed the bird for 38.

On the back I started with 3 straight bogies, then 4 straight pars. Bogied 17 and needed a par on 18 for 79. 18 is 550yds., downhill but a huge tree sticking out preventing any thought of just hitting a nice cut out there. I blocked out a 3W right and was under this big tree with branches overhanging. I don't know what you call them but you can like walk right under it and the branches hang down. I piped a 13* out without hitting anything but never saw it. I hit a provisional just in case with more of a punch shot so I could see it. I never found ball #1 so had to take a par for double on #2.

Another 81.

Oh, the rough today was brutal, long and wet. I don't think I ever truly knew the meaning of the word "flier"... I hit a 7i that flew the green, uhpill like 170 on the fly. I smartened up on #9. The one I hit over that big tree flew 165 to upslope behind the pin. I normally hit a 7i about 155-160 max.
