Well, I hit Patapsco from the blues today. Another stellar round.
Not.
While I had some very nice drives, it seems I really need to continue working on the rest of my game. You don’t think so? Check out the stats:
- Kid picked up my second shot, but put it back where it was for me. Bogey, 4
- Ouch. OUCH! (*$#@@ Triple Bogey, 6
- Bogey, 5
- Bogey, 4
- Double Bogey, 6
- This is definitely the first time parred from the blues, if not ever. Par! 4
- Birdie, 3
- Par, 4
- Bogey, 5
- Par, 3
- Should have Birdied this one. Par, 5
- This shouldn’t be here either: Double Bogey, 5
- Par, 4
- Par, 4
- Bogey, 4
- Bogey, 5
- Bogey, 5
- Bogey, 5
The totals: +8, +6 for +14 (ouch) in 41, 40 for 81 strokes. I need to shave 10 strokes off my game before my birthday (Oct 2). And that’s from the blues!
I have a knack it seems for coming up way short on approaches. I think there’s a reason for that. At least, one that I can name: today, I used 2 discs: the XS I found, and the Roc that was given to me by P. Neither was suitable for me to use for approaches. Too long. I need to bring a shorter disc for that stuff.
Today, I also started throwing the extra disc on drives and approaches. I played through a group of 4 (2 were noobs) on 4 (great drive there, btw) and saw no one else. Since I was pretty much alone and not holding anyone up, I took practice throws. Tried some sidearms. That’s going to require a lot of work. Keep throwing them too high.
Finally, I need to work on uphill drives because mine are killing me. On 2 and 16, I keep hitting ground near the red tees. I can’t tell you how much that bites my nads!
