Recap
Played MPO division. Played very poorly and went OB a lot of times. Lots of excuses, woke up at 4:30am, 119 degrees outside, and sore from weight lifting. In the end though, I think I needed to concentrate more and adjust for how I felt.
The course was a little different this week and probably will be on going. Marty setup some mandos which did increase the difficulty on the holes. Some holes I played the same as always while others I was unprepared game plan wise.
Scoring
5+, last place for Pro (19 players). Started off playing the first hole great (hole 18 over the water), parked the second hole (hole 1) and had my putt spit through the chains. I had 2 total Spit throughs.
Bag Highlights
Axiom Crave 164g. This thing goes far and straight. Hit the basket on 15.
Discraft Zone OS 174g. I actually used this a few times this week to get out of trouble. Specifically a forehand flex approach where I needed the disc to fly in that path and land flat.
3 Learnings
- Get sleep, being tired does not help my game
- Smooth is far. The shots I tried to get some power on caused a lot of extra strokes.
- Changing putters. Envy glow plastic is too slippery for my putting putter. Great for throwing.
