Catching Up

Thursday was my first day of tryouts. I thought we would play because it was so nice out but we didn't so there's not much to talk about. Yesterday though my parents let me sleep in and then decided I had already missed enough school so they let me golf. I got up there around noon and right away got a lesson from Matt. He said I was focusing too much on bringing the club higher so I was taking it out in my first move and coming back across my body which was causing me to hook it. He had me bring the club inside and up on the right swing plain which was hard and then had me come back through hit out to my right but turning and making a big finish so that the ball would go straight. I played the front 9 and shot a 43 from the blue tees. I didn't start off well but parred 5,7,8,and 9 to escape at 7 over. Today I went up and played with my friend chase who is also trying out for golf. I hit the ball good today. I parred 1 which I never do. On 2 I hit a bomb of a drive to about 30 feet off the green but there was a ridge in the front of the green and a front pin so it was a tough chip. I got it decently close and barely missed my birdie putt. I didn't do as good on 4,5,and 6. I bogeyed all 3 of them. But then I parred 7 and bogeyed 8. On 9 I hit another bomb drive, a long 8 iron to the right side of the hill behind the green. I needed a perfect chip to get close but instead I bladed it and it rolled through the grass which slowed it down and I then made my 8 foot par putt. I also got my Vokey 56 degree sand wedge today which was good. I'm going up there again tomorrow and I can't wait for the coming week of golf.
