It could have been good
This morning, I played 9 at North Texas Golf. The weather was very hot and sunny, with only a slight breeze from the west. Before playing, I hit short and medium pitches, hit a small bucket of balls, chipped and putted.
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 | 3* | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 4* | 4* | 4 | 32 |
* Hit green in regulation.
My round:
- First hole. Hit a 9-iron just right of the green, chipped to 9 ft and made the putt.
- Second hole. Hit a 7-iron 48 ft short of the hole and two-putted for par.
- Third hole. Hit a fat AW short of the green into a drain. Took relief, chipped to 9 ft and two-putted for bogey.
- Fourth hole. Hit a slightly fat PW right of the pin, chipped to 5 ft, missed the putt and tapped in for bogey.
- Fifth hole. Hit a fat SW short of the hole, chipped to 3 feet and hit the putt for par.
- Sixth hole. Hit an approach shot right of the green, chipped to 6 ft and made the putt for par.
- Seventh hole. Hit a pitching wedge to 18 ft, but hit the birdie putt much too hard and it lipped out 5 ft past the hole. Missed the return putt and tapped in for bogey (much cursing ensued).
- Eighth hole. Hit a pitching wedge to 24 ft. Again, ran the birdie putt well past the hole, missed the return putt and tapped in for bogey (more cursing).
- Ninth hole. Hit an 8-iron off the toe right of the green. Chipped 9 ft past the hole and missed the par putt, and tapped in for bogey.
My putting really let me down today. I could have had a good round, but threw it away with terrible 3-putts.
