80- Bethpage Black
Took my range workout onto the course and together with my putting work (working on disance control on lag putts) fired a 80 yesterday on black.
Just some ho hum bogeys (and a 3 putt on 14..my only one) kept me from breaking 80, played the past 2 holes in the rain and parred in..so my rain play is good these days.
hit the ball well off the tee (hit 7 or 7 fairways on the front 9) and just a touch out of position on the back..got a touch greedy with some irons and hit a bunch of bunkers but got solid outs and one or 2 sandys)
just left a couple of 8 iron chips either a touch long or short, so with some practice i can get that going.
the ny state amateur quailying next week after next and the pub links after that.
its not that im hitting the ball that much better, but solid course management and a good mental attitude has really shaved some quick numbers off my games..handicap is about a 4 now and feel im playing to it.
worked on accelerating thro my shots and hit some great irons and drives yesterday..missed shots ofcourse too but had 'good misses'
game has come along way in a small amount of time.
im not thinking about ball striking on the course..im playing the game, staying positive and trying to make the best number i can and playing one shot at a time.
this is good work for me.
