Creeks and Rivers
This morning, I played 18 at the Indian Creek Golf Club on the Creeks course. The day was heavily overcast, breezy, warm and humid. We went off at 7:45AM and finished at 12:15PM, for a 4-1/2 hour round, not bad for a muni course on Sunday.

* Hit green in regulation.
Themes:
- Tee shots. I hit the ball poorly off the tee, making three penalties with the driver. I blocked to the right most of the day. I did hit two par-3 holes in regulation, one a beautiful 5-iron to 12 ft for birdie, another one to 25 ft, but I messed that up with my only three-putt of the day.
- Approach shots. Not particularly good, hitting only one par-4 in regulation. I was often short, as I was hitting out of the rough or from under trees all day.
- Wedges. I was pretty good with the wedges today, as I got up and down four times.
- Chipping. Despite all my chipping practice, I didn’t really chip well today, tending to hit them thin.
- Bunker shots. I hit into four bunkers today, including two fairway bunkers. Both green-side bunker shots were hit a bit thin and long. I hit one very nice pitching wedge out of a fairway bunker, my other was a 9-iron hit a little fat.
- Putting. Today was my best putting round ever, needing only 31 putts, and only a single three-putt. I nailed putts from as long as 25 ft today and really only missed one short putt (on the hole I three-putted). I was very pleased, as the greens were as fast as I’ve ever played on.
I didn’t play well today, aside from my putting, but I had a lot of fun and never got frustrated or angry even though I hit a lot of really poor shots.
