Washington Golf Club, One Day Member-Guest - Washington, CT
I ventured down to Connecticut to one of the courses that I learned to play the game of golf on with my Dad as his guest in a one day member guest tournament. The threat of weather, which thankfully and to the credit of Head Pro Fran Hoxie never materialized, kept the field to 6 two person teams. But we ventured ahead hoping for the best and getting it. I started out well. I hit a perfect 4 wood off the first tee and managed a bogey after I missed a par putt by inches on the side. Then duplicated my drive on the par 4 second hole, leaving me with an extremely uphill, 100 yard SW approach that I nailed pin high within 8 feet to secure my first birdie of the year. I continued to hit the ball well, with the exception of the par 4 sixth on my way in to a 42 on the front nine. I tired a little on the back having woken up early to drive down to CT for the round, stumbling home with a 44, leaving me with an 86 for the round. My Dad shot a solid 81 and we took home first place in the tournament coming in with a 75 gross best ball score. Thanks Dad for a great day!

Pine Meadows - Lexington, MA
Got off this morning, pumped up after watching the US Open this weekend. I hit alot of fairways today and got on/around the greens in regulation. My highlight of the round was a 30 foot putt for par on the par 3 4th hole. I did nothing spectacular today, but trucked around for a nice round of 41 on a very easy nine holes.

Leo J. Martin Golf Course - Weston, MA
Well, the golf gods giveth and they taketh away. I couldn't get out of my own way today. I hit the ball poorly from tee to green, although I did putt well. I got off early this morning and was the first one off the back nine at Leo J. Martin. The back nine here is a difficult nine holes. It has a very pretty and challenging layout on a course that is not always the best maintained course around and has a horrible front nine. I had no ability to focus today. My routine was off and I didn't feel comfortable over the ball at all. That being said, it is always nice to get out on the golf course. I did manage to take a few extra chips and putts around the green because I was playing alone with noone in front of me. I was chipping so poorly, I switched up to pitching with my 52 degree Ping sand wedge instead of my traditional 56 degree Cleveland wedge. I found myself hitting better chips, but that was probably due to more focus instead of the club selection. I was fast with my driver today pulling and hooking the ball low and left and slow with the irons, hitting alot fat and pushing the ball right. Chalk it up to a day where I wasn't up to par mentally.
