Ahhhhhh....

Last night I subbed with my brother at Greystone in the league that we were partners in for five years. I was a bit apprehensive about it as I have not been playing that well and my history with that league is such that I have always carried one of the best, if not the best scoring averages in the history of that league.

Dave and his new partner were at 3-0-2 for the season going into last night. They are now 4-0-2 after last night.

I finally played well and shot less than my weight for 9 holes. I made a 6 footer for par on the first hole and my confidence level got a much needed boost. However on #2 I three jacked for bogey after my first putt sputtered dreadfully short of the hole and I then lipped out for par from about 6 feet. Ouch.

On #3 I hit a very good 6 iron to about 20 feet and two putted for par.

#4 is one of the hardest driving holes around and I killed my drive down the left side and had only a wedge into the green and canned about a 12 footer for birdie!!!! (is my putting coming around?).

#5 presented a brutal pin placement and I lipped out from about 8 feet for par after a rather poor chip shot.

On the par three 6th hole I nearly canned my wedge for an ace and proceded to tap in from about 2 feet for birdie (hmmmmm).

The up hill 7th present the option of driver (risky) or 3 wood or less off the tee. It was into the wind so I hit driver and nailed it right down the middle. After a 9 iron to the green I two putted for par.

I made a mess of the drivable 8th after hitting it into the greenside bunker off the tee and failed to get up and down after blasting out. The bogey got me back to one over.

I tapped in for par on the 9th and carded a solid 37. This was the best 9 holes that I have played in several weeks. I hit the ball well and putted far better than I have been. It will be a much needed confidence boost as I go back to Greystone Tuesday for a scramble event. Bring it on!!!
