Went up and played again. I did much better. I shot an 84. Although I shot a 46 on the front I shot a 38 on the back. I didn't mess up on the back. I parred every hole except for 16 and 18. I made some long puts and my drives were straight. I was also chipping well for what little I did. There was nothing spectacular that I did I just played good. I don't think I will be up for awhile because of football.

Todat I went up and played 18. I shot an 86. I did'n't do as well as I would have liked to but I did good. I was putting pretty well. On 13 I had about a 10 foot put for par that I sank and I was also hittin everything 7 feet and closer. today on 12 the the whites were back with the blues so I hit a 7 iron. I moved the ball back in the box so I wouldn't over shoot but I ended up about a foot short. It was going straight at the pin too. I don't think I will be golfing for awhile because I have football at two all week and juniors can't golf til ten.

Yesterday I went up and played the back nine because I had football but I wanted to golf. I shot a 38. I did great. I was hitting my drives straight and my mid and short irons really came around for me. I started off with 4 pars, then a bogie, birdie, double, par, and then par. Then today I played the front and got a 40. I parred 1,2,5, and 6, I also birdied 4. the pin was up 15 and the wind was with me so I used a 9 iron. It landed about 6 feet from the hole and then my put went all the way around the lip of the hole before it finally went in.

Today I went up and got a lesson. It was on driving. I wasn't getting my weight back and using my body to bring my hands through. I played bad today. I shot an 88. I had some great saves especially out of the sand. On 15 I hit a shot out of the bunker that checked and ended up a foot from the hole. I also hit a great five iron on the 180 yard par three 8th. I also had a great breakfeast for the first time. I have football so I probably won't be able to golf for a while.

Today, even though my back hurt, I played in the east side vs. west side wildcat golf tournament at OGA in Woodburn. It was a scramble matchplay format so I played with another guy from wilsonville. It turned out to be Nolan Smith who I knew from basketball. He was pretty good. We ended mup winning our match by four holes and east side won (which is my side) by two matches. Each match won was worth one point. Nolan and I shot an 82. I didn't do to good on the front nine but made a 20 and 15 foot put and also had a 30 foot put end up two inches to the hole. I think i'm going up to the club on sunday. It was fun to experience a new course.

Today I went up and played with my friend Ryan Walsh. He is also going to join the golf team next year. My back started hurting so I didn't play as good today. I shot an 89. Ryan shot a 93 which is great for the first time playing the course. I introduced him to the famous fish and chips. It was great and I hope to do it again somtime soon.

I played 27 today. I shot an 86 when I played 18. I shot a 41 on the front which was great for me but I sucked on the back so right when I got done I went right back out on the back. By the time I had played five holes I was one under. I ended up four over after I had a double on 16. I bogeyed 18 even though I had a chip that ended up a foot from the pin. I also had a birdie from a 10 foot put on 11.

Two days ago I played with Paul Scott. His step-son is in my grade so it was cool to play with him. He was playing in a match play championship in which he lost by one stroke on the last hole. So that I wouldn't get in their way, I decided to play from the blues. I was hitting the ball far but I was fading the ball so much. I just couldn't hit the ball straight. I'm lucky I saved myself with my chipping and putting. It didn't start off bad though. I parred 1. I hit the drive in the fairway, my second shot faded, I layed up on my third and chipped it two feet from the pin on fourth. I'm going up there today to practice and play.

I went up at five today and got a tee time at 5:30. I did pretty good. I parred 18 and had like a 280 yard drive. I birdied 2 after my drive got me 15 feet from the green. I shot a 41 on the back which was great. I parred the number two hardest hole on the course,15. I didn't get to play Bandon because my whole family got sick with the flu. Maybe next time. I think I might go up tomorrow for some practice.

On Friday I went up and hit balls. I worked a lot on my 9 iron. I putted good. I'm starting to hook the ball so I need to get my hands through. Next time I will be blogging it will be about Bandon.
