Cowboys Golf Club
This morning, Dad and I played 18 at the Cowboys Golf Club in Grapevine. The course was in very good condition, though the greens had been punched probably a week ago. We went off at 9AM with another twosome and finished in 4 hours 40 minutes. We waited on the group in front of us much of the day.
My score:
| Hole | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | Out |
| Par | 5 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 36 |
| Score | 8 | 4* | 4 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 7 | 5* | 5 | 45 |
| Hole | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | In | Total |
| Par | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 36 | 72 |
| Score | 4* | 5 | 5 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 5 | 8 | 53 | 98 |
* Hit green in regulation
Themes:
- Tee shots. I didn’t hit the ball well off the tee today, hitting only five fairways and no par-3 holes in regulation. I had two penalties off the tee as well. My major fault was hooking, though one was a huge push.
- Approach shots. Not very good today, either. I hit just three greens in regulation. My main fault was pushes to the right of the green.
- Wedges. I was pretty pleased with my wedges today, as all three greens I hit in regulation were with the approach wedge.
- Sand shots. I hit into one fairway bunker and two greenside bunkers. I got out on all three, but none of the shots were close to my target.
- Chipping. Not very good, got up-and-down only twice. I mostly went long today.
- Putting. Boy, I stunk. I just couldn’t get the speed right today at all. 40 putts total, only two one-putt greens, and six 3-putts. Pathetic.
I was pretty disappointed with my play today, as I just couldn’t get my irons to go straight (big push right most of the day) and big hooks with my driver. Not to mention that my putting was terrible. Lack of practice is really messing up my play and now that summer is here, it’ll be harder to find time since practice in the afternoon after work is really not possible due to Texas heat. Alas.
