Practice and Play at North Texas Golf
On Saturday, I met Jarvis for practice and play. The weather was warm with a strong breeze from the north.
I spent half the practice session hitting short and medium irons, working on drawing the ball, as usual. I was drawing the ball pretty good today, but the wind made my draws straight and my straight balls fade. Next up, I practiced short wedge shots into the practice flags. I had good direction control today, but most shots were long. After that, I practiced chipping. Jarvis and I had a chipping content (he owes me lunch). A few practice putts and time to 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 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4* | 3* | 3 | 4* | 35 |
* Hit green in regulation.
Themes:
- Shots from the tee, other than the first two holes, were mostly long today; I guess I overcompensated for the wind. Misses were to the left, so the draw is starting to become more natural.
- Chipping, despite the practice, was bad all day.
- Today was my worst day putting in recent memory; three 3-putts.
Nevertheless, the weather was beautiful and had a fun day.
