I played golf on Sunday and I had a lot of fun. I only played 9 holes because the time change has really dampened the ability to play 18 holes. With the sun setting at 5 o’clock, there is only so much time in the day.

As you can see by my scorecard, I really didn’t get off to a great start. Double bogey, bogey, and double bogey will never make anyone feel good. But I played the par 3’s really well. On both of the par 3’s I hit the green and had looks at birdie. Unfortunately I did not cash in. In fact on hole 7, I actually 3-putted and it cost me a bogey. Unreal. The whole round, my putting is what really cost me strokes and that needs to change. I used to be a solid putter and never really thought too much about it but now I’m abysmal. It might be because I’m over thinking it and I just need to get the ball towards the hole and minimize the 3-putts. Also, leaving putts short has been a problem. I need to get back to missing long to at least give it a chance at the hole. If you leave it short it will never even get the chance.

This is my friend Grady absolutely flushing a 9-iron on a par 3.

In terms of my clubs and how they performed, my driver is still terrible. I’m trying to swing more from the inside instead of over the top but I can’t figure it out. It’s getting demoralizing but still having fun! The irons were my best part and the short game was solid too. No complaints there. And I already talked about my putting.
