Had my first half decent 18 hole round of the year on Saturday at Druid Hills in the 2nd round of the Green Tour. Shot 77 but left so much out there. Tee to green I had two bad strokes all day. One I got away with, however a pulled drive cost me a triple on number 12. I blame that on a failure to stick to my game plan. That's a tight fairway - only 352 yards and I had planned to hit hybrid to about 140. Instead I got off plan and hit driver. That aside, my main issue was putting. I had probably 8 makeable birdie putts and didn't threaten the hole on a single one of them. In addition I had two 3 putts. I will be seeing TW next week and intend to start working on putting. I need to develop a repeatable routine.
On a positive note, the driver investment is really starting to pay off. Still not totally comfortable with it but when I catch it, I'm getting at least another 30 yards.
Finally, putting it all into perspective is Ken Green. Less than 1 year after an accident that claimed the lives of his girlfriend, brother and dog AND resulted in the amputation of his right leg AND a mere 4 months after the accidental death of his young son, he finished far from last in a Champions Tour event in Alabama. What an inspiration. I salute you!!
