so i was at the tourney on sunday, and i hit well. i had nice long drives, manage to get the longest drive and one closest to the pin. still don't know what the prizes are because i left right after i was done playing, but who cares
anyways, the green i played was sooooo fast compared to the ones i play. even up hills are pretty fast. it almost felt like i was putting on marble floor. even towards the end of the round, i just couldn't get use to it. it was probably b/c my very first putt of the round was w/in 10ft, putt a good stroke only to have the ball past the pin over 10ft. the next putt i left it short to stay below the hole and it still managed to go pass the pin about 2ft. from then on it was all down the drain. didn't make a single putt w/in 3ft. i had about 4 birdie chances. except 3 holes, i got my ball either in 3 or GIR, only to make 4 pars, and rest of them bogie or double bogie. i think i had 3 or so 4-putts, and manage to card 93.
my drives and irons were pretty good. i was consistantly hitting back of the green w/ some back spin, but the green was just brutal.
so what do you guys do when the speed of the green is different than what you're used to? i had too many blow-by-the-hole putts.
