Good, Bad, and Ugly from my round today:
Good (Great for me): Shot 85, which beats my previous best by 2 strokes and shot a 40 on the back nine.
Bad: FOUR putted #4, the 3rd of which was under a foot...(if I believed in gimmes, I might have broke 85)
Ugly #1: Hit my 3rd into the sand on the par 5 15th and let the wedge slide completely under it leaving it in the sand....hit the 4th 15 feet past for a 2 putt bogey. I generally play MUCH better than that from the sand. That's only the 2nd time I ever recall leaving a sand shot in the trap
Ugly #2 Like an idiot, looked at the scorecard on 18 after my buddy said, "Damn Dude, you're killing it today on the back." and saw that I was sitting on 80 going into the final hole. Proceeded to hit my driver into the right rough about 2 feet from a tree where I had to punch out sideways to the fairway...made a bogey 5, but again, could have parred it for a 84 had I not whacked it behind a tree.
All in all, I obviously have to be pleased shooting my best ever (though I know for some of you a 85 wouldn't be a good day) but there's still a bit of regret not being able to break 85.
I'm looking forward to going out over the weekend where I'm fairly certain I'll shoot in triple digits.
