GGA Tournament, Day 2
This morning, I played day 2 of the GGA Championship. I went off at 8:30AM and finished at 12:45PM. The weather again was warm and sunny, with only a slight variable wind. The greens had a thick layer of dew when we went off but had burned off by the third hole.
My score:
| Hole | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | Out |
| Par | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 36 |
| Score | 6 | 4 | 7 | 5 | 7* | 6 | 4* | 5 | 5 | 49 |
| Hole | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | In | Total |
| Par | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 36 | 72 |
| Score | 7 | 10 | 7 | 3 | 5* | 5 | 6 | 3* | 5 | 51 | 100 |
* Hit green in regulation.
Themes:
- Tee shots. Again, very mixed off the tee. I had two penalties off the tee, both lost in the woods. I hit a total of six fairways and also two of the par-3 holes in regulation.
- Approach shots. Again, very mixed bag. I hit two greens in regulation (in addition to the two par-3 holes), but also had a penalty (ball lost in the woods).
- Wedges. I didn’t have a good wedge shot all day, hitting several left short of the hole (and one in a greenside bunker).
- Chipping. My chipping wasn’t great today, but I did manage to get up-and-down four times, though not always for par.
- Sand shots. I hit into only one greenside bunker today, and I hit that ball well over the green on the first hole of Bluebonnet. I did manage to get the ball back out of the woods that time with a pretty nifty recovery shot.
- Putting. I hit two long putts, but also had a 4-putt (!) and two 3-putts. I had a total of 37 putts today, simply terrible. I lipped out at least 3 putts and left a couple an inch or two short.
Wow, what a weird day. I putted terribly, yet shot one shot better than yesterday. I turned a potential 92 into a 100 with poor putting.
Update: I came in 5th (gross) for the 2-day tournament.
