Playing some good golf right now. All the planets are aligning!
I had a 1/4 final match last night, this time against another 19 h/c player. I had to give him 15 shots ffs!! We played off the championship tees and it was a relatively cool night with a moderate breeze (15mph).
I shot a 74 last Saturday (SSS was 73) and am currently very happy with my ball striking and scoring. Still the odd poor shot here and there but managing to minimise serious damage. I'm driving the ball really well and my short game is very tidy. My long range putting is still a bit suspect, but managing to hole a few alright.
Anyway back to the match last night. This guy was your archetypal bogey golfer. 3 shots to the green, 2 putts for a net par on most holes. For a 19 h/c he didn't make too many mistakes. But I was "on fire last night". :thumbs up: and sort of blew him away.
We shook hands on the 14th green. I was -3 over the stretch to beat him 5 and 4. Had one bogey, one eagle and two birdies. I hit 11 GIRs in the 14 holes and putted really well. The only bogey I made was the result of a drive that nestled badly in the rough (had to wedge it back in play). That's as solid as I have played in a long time.
Hopefully I can keep this wee spell going for a while! Oh, and I now face a guy playing off a 2 h/c in the semi-final!!
