Recap
Played MPO division. Played well. The course was playing “easy” as there was very little wind and the ground play is getting very skippy. I made a nice jump putt to an elevated basket on 18 (death putt). I was driving decent, for sure scoring on the 300 ft or less holes. My putting started off strong and then I missed an easy putt. This caused me to question my putting the rest of the round and I had to be really close to the basket to get a birdie. Going to work on my mental game this week.
Every time I played it safe I was not rewarded. Being aggressive was is how I need to be.
A member of my card, Greg Chance, made an ace on hole 8. Putter dead at it.
Scoring
7 birdies, 2 bogeys. Rating : 948
Bag Highlights
Discraft : Raptor : Tour Series 2022 – Thumbers. Thumbers saved my round. As I was not confident in my swing today, being able to throw a guaranteed dart to 320 ft is exactly what I needed.
Discraft : Anax : ESP – Starting to really like this disc as I have one broken in and one new. It has a reliable finish so I’m not afraid to put it over the water.
3 Learnings
- Putting is mental
- Need to do drills through the week because I’m already falling back to my old swing.
- A bad hole is not the end of the round. Reset, every hole is it’s own event.
