We had our club championship this past 3 days.
It was a blast. I have never experienced such pacy greens. I believe the greens were running at 13!! Surprisingly, playing from the tips was not such an issue. Weather was superb.
This is going to sound funny but given what I shot today but I have never been happier with my ball striking. I have finally eliminated that horrible big high block to the right with the driver. It was being caused by a slide towards the target with the left hip on the downswing. THE DOWNSWING HAS TO BE INITIATED BY LETTING THE CLUB FALL/THE RIGHT ELBOW UNHINGE WHILE REMAINING COILED.
Anyhow, I shot 81/81/87. I was in 9th place as of this morning but probably finished in the high teens.
In general I'm very happy with my ball striking tee to green. I had maybe 3 bad swings all weekend. Alas two of them cost me a 9 on the 11th hole (that's a par 5).
Was disappointed with how I chipped and putted. In truth I was tentative and a little chicken on the fast greens. I missed about five 3-footers or less.
Season is winding down. Only one event of note left - final round of the Green Tour on Nov 6th. Will take a week off to freshen up and get a few good weeks practice in before that!!
