long overdue

Last Saturday I played 16. I started off really good. I bogeyed one after I bladed my chip and to about 30 feet from the pin and 20 off the green that I nearly holed. On two I hit a great drive, perfect second shot to about 7 feet and made it for birdie. From there it went downhill. Besides 4 which I parred, I didn't get anything else. I ended up shooting a 44 on the front. It turned around on the back. My putting was good all day so on the back when I put myself in position for par I did great. Parred 10, just bogeyed 11, just missed a 20 foot birdie put on 12, parred 13, 14 15, and my last hole 16 after I hit my new Rescue club to the front of the green, chipped it close, and sank the put for par. Although I did good, Im having a problem with my draw that I have aquired. I plan to fix it next time I go up.

On Saturday I went up to the club to test out my new 5 wood and play. I got an early tee time so there wasn't much practice before I went out. It was very windy and about 34 degrees up there so I played 6 holes before I had to stop. I still went and practiced because the area is heated. i love my new club. I hit it great every time as long as I take my time. I don't know the distance because it was windy but It was really nice. It had great feel even on the mats. I decided to try and loosen my grip a little because my hand was hurting and to change my swing so that I was swinging the club into the ball instead of hitting the ball with my hands which I think accounted for my inconsistency. It was a little different but I could hit it more consistently and it had a better feel. Good thing It's winter break so I can practice a lot more.

On Tuesday I went up to just practice. Only practice because I hadnt gone in about a month and because dad said so. So I got up there and was doing pretty good. and then all of a sudden I couldn't get the ball off the ground for about 75 shots in a row. I didn't know what was wrong and because the day was so perfect I decided to play the back. It was perfect. I started off by lipping out my birdie chip and ended by lipping out my birdie chip. It was such a good round. Even my putter which had been on steroids before was working. I ended up only 3 over. Today I went up and shot an 82. 5 over on the front and a dissapointing 5 over on the back. I bogied 10 for the first time since ever. I bogied 12 also. But I saved by parring 13,15, and 18. I have developed a slight draw in my shot which is good. But it turns into a pull hook in my driver so I plan to fix that the next time im up there. Also, christmas is coming up and I am hoping to be going up there with some new gear soon.

Today I went up and played a scramble with some friends. Me and a 7th grader named ryan shot a 70 while jesse and a friend named grant shot a 65. It was really fun. I was hitting the ball great on the back especially. I have my shot down now. It is either perfectly straight or a slight draw. I can't wait to play next week.

Today I went up and played 15 since 1, 2, and 3 were shut down for repairs to the bunkers. I started off the par three 4th with an 8 iron shot down to one inch to the cup. Shot of a lifetime. I did decent the rest of the front. started off par, bogey, par, bogey, bogey, and then went par, par, par from 15 to 17. on 15 my drive was perfect-A slight draw. My second shot was also perfect but my third shot was a little short. After that I just two putted. My drive on 16 was crushed. My second shot with my three iron was crushed but barely into the rough. Then I hit a great flop shot that died right by the hole and sunk the put for par. I hit a great 3 iron with a draw that just was a little too much club. but I had an uphill lie at the back of the green. I again hit a perfect flop shot to about two feet and again sank the par put. I'm going up again tomorrow to play with Jesse.

Today I went up and played with Jesse. I didn't Jesse shot 71. I shot an 85. My game pretty much started on the back when on 10 I had my best chip to about three feet for par. Then on 12 I hit a great pitching wedge to about 30 feet and then two putted. The only time I birdied on the back was on fourteen when I had a decent drive but a great 5 iron on to the green to about 7 feet and then made the put. But my best put was on fifteen. the pin was at the front of the green and my shot out of the sand went all the way to the back. Jesse had already finished so he threw his ball in the sand to "show me how it was done." to show him how it was done I sank my 40 foot put. I hop I can play tomorrow.

For the first time in a month i went up and just practiced. for those of you who don't know I have a small tear in my lcl and i haven't played for awhile so my dad wanted me to just practice. I saw Jesse up there and I practiced with him. We played KP and some really good putting drills. I was hitting the ball really good today. even my driver. The greens were perfect today and I can not wait to play next week.
