I am not anywhere near this level and do not expect to return at all ever.I never believed i'd ever break a par round and honestly don't think i ever will again, I just went out and played fantastically solid. It was kind of hilarious actually. I could not hit anything on the range, I mean anything. I gave up and went over to chip and putt some and that wasn't even that good. My lag putting was awesome, but I was not sinking the short ones.
Got on the first tee and poked a drive out there to leave me with 80yards left on a 425yard par 4 (severlely elevated, slight dogleg...) stuck that tight and just lipped out the bird.
I could go on hole by hole but my quick summary would be I was killing driver off the front nine 100% pure, back nine I was hitting the best mis hits ever. 11 fairways hit out of 14 but somehow only 10 greens. Never hit one par 3 in reg, and saved par 3 out of 4 times to go one over on the par 3's. ( 173, 198, 199, and 174 )
Three under on the par 4's ( three birds and 7 pars ) and three under on the par 5's ( two tap in eagles that on both I was debating laying up and one very stupid bogey; the rest par's )
So:
3 bidies
2 eagles
11 pars
2 bogeys
11 fairways
10 greens
26putts ( never been under 30; this was actually a weird feeling )
3 sand saves ( I'm a seasoned vet. at the beach without the badges )
7 scrambles
I am only modestly decent and am not disappointed or surprised to shoot mid 80's. I rarely ever go under 80 actually and have had a few rounds in the 90's this year. My ballstriking was awesome but if it failed I was saving par relatively easily, I was so confident.
I was pumped writing each score down and after being 3 under on the front with one bogey I was obsessed with where I was all the time, every shot. I was even thinking,,,"stop thinking your going to fold man" but I held up on the back with one birdie, one eagle and 6 pars and did not fold 'till the 18th where I could not commit to what club to hit from the elevated par 3. I still hit it solid somehow but could not save par.
My new driver shaft performed well for the first time out with out of 14 drives my average was 295yards and my longest was 339yards with 11 fairways hit, and the fairways were really tight!!! Keep in mind that most this course was elevated. I killed one uphill to roll out to 260 yards for my shortest drive.
