Won on Tie Breaker
This afternoon, after work, I played three-way match play at North Texas Golf. The weather was cloudy but warm, with a strong breeze from the west. We hit a few balls to warm up and then hit the course.
My score:
| Hole | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Total |
| Par | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 27 |
| Score | 3 | 4 | 3* | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4* | 4 | 3* | 34 |
* Hit green in regulation.
Themes:
- Tee shots. I hit three greens in regulation. I had only one bad tee shot, a shanked gap wedge on the 8th hole. The longest club I hit today was an 8-iron on the first hole (into a strong wind); the rest were 9-irons or less.
- Wedges. Besides the tee shots, I had only one wedge shot, from the spot well right of the 8th hole, where I hit a lob wedge to about 15 ft.
- Chipping. I hit one good chip to 2 ft on the first hole, my only up and down for the day.
- Sand shots. None today.
- Putting. Pathetic, really. I didn’t hit a putt over 5 ft and three-putt twice. As usual, left a lot of putts short.
We scored the holes as follows: hole won outright, 2 points; hole tied, 1 point; hole lost, no points. I ended up winning three holes and tying one for a score of 7, tying me with one of my playing partners. Instead of a playoff, we agreed to use the total strokes as the tie-breaker, and I won that by two strokes. 🙂
