First of all Happy 4th of July to all of my fellow American viewers! Yes….I realize that I’m posting this just after midnight here and it is technically the 5th, but I just couldn’t finish it in time! Today is a day to celebrate and give thanks to all those who have sacrificed their lives to protect this nation for us over the past 237 years. Us Americans are all so blessed to live in a nation where we have the right to pursue our own happiness and the freedom to go after the dreams in our heart. I for one do not take that for granted, I know there are millions of people across the world that unfortunately do not have that luxury.

Played my 2^nd round at Riverwalk today, completed back to back days of golf on the fantastic Riverwalk course, playing the exact 9 hole combination as yesterdays round of 78 (+6) Friars/Presidio. A really fun round out there today, that included a crazy accident that we witnessed on the back 9. Will probably never see that again in my life, check it out!

Riverwalk Friars/Presidio 6,627 Yards Par 72

Front 9 Friars 3,230 Yards Par 36

Hole 1: 384 Par 4

Straight away par 4; today hit a great 1^st tee drive down the right side of the fairway. Hit my 2^nd shot in almost the exact same spot as yesterday on the front right portion of the green. Flag was on middle right today, so I did not have an extremely long putt. About 20 ft up the hill, left my putt a good 6 ft short (continuing my trend from yesterday) and I missed the 6 ft par putt, for a bad opening hole 3 putt bogey. Bogey

Round (+1)

Hole 2: 509 Par 5

Dog leg left par 5, hit my drive down the left side and it took a nasty bounce left and found the hazard. Got to drop at the spot and laced a 5 wood up just right of the green. Even with the penalty I had a nice opportunity for an up and down par and I hit a good chip to about 8 ft. Made the uphill slight right to left breaking par putt! Par

Round (+1)

Hole 3: 342 Par 4

Dog leg right hole, where a lake runs down the right side, from playing yesterday I knew that I could take a 3 wood or driver and cut off the hole yardage significantly by going over the lake. Decided on a 3 wood and although I thinned it low, it had a perfect draw on it and ran out around the corner of the lake. Only had 70 yards to green, but still struggling to put it close from this distance, 35 ft over the pin. A quick tricky 2 putt, somehow left my lag putt short again a good 6 ft and lipped out my par putt for ANOTHER 3 putt…..ughhh! Bogey

Round (+2)

Hole 4: 171 Par 3

I started reading this great book my sisters got me called “Zen Golf” by Dr. Joseph Parent….only a few chapters in, but the ideas he has presented about letting go of bad shots, focusing and thinking of the bigger picture have really hit home to me. I’ll talk more about the book when I’m finished reading it, but wanted to mention it because I used his techniques after the two 3 putts in my first opening 3 holes and it had amazing results. Focused on this next difficult shot and hit a great 6 iron to about 15 ft. Had the putt right online, but it stopped a few inches short, solid par on this #1 handicap hole. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 5: 395 Par 4

Straight away par 4 where you can let the driver fly. Hit almost the same drive as yesterday, crushed down the middle, only 75 yards in. Hit a solid wedge this time that played off a slope on the green and ran towards the cup, finished about 12. Birdie putt burned the edge, tap in par. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 6: 175 Par 3

Hit an 8 iron to center of green, about 25 ft away, good lag putt and made my 3 ft par putt. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 7: 507 Par 5

Out of bounds to the left, hit a great drive down middle of fairway. Only had 200 to reach this par 5 in 2, but I blocked a 5 iron out to the left. Hit a solid chip to about 6 ft, but missed my right to left breaking birdie putt on the low side, par. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 8: 403 Par 4

Slight dog leg right hole, blocked my tee shot out to the left, but it stayed in. Had a fluffy lie in the rough 140 out, hard to get any spin, took a PW, hit center of green, but just ran off to the back. Nice little bump and run and made the putt for a par. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 9: 344 Par 4

Decided to hit my driver today and hit a solid drive down the right side of fairway. Hit a lob wedge, that I clipped perfectly and it finished just 5ft from cup, but unfortunately was above the hole and a real quick putt. Had to play it off the toe to kill the speed, looked in, but hit a spike mark at the cup and darted right and missed….dang, great opportunity missed. Par

Round (+2)

Started off shaky with two 3 putts in my first 3 holes and an out of bounds tee shot on #2, but gathered my focus back and finished the 9 with 6 consecutive pars for a 38 (+2) on this Par 36 Friars Front 9. Fairways Hit (FW): 4/7 57% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 7/9 77% Up/Downs: 2/2 100% Sand Saves: 0/ 0% Penalties: 1 Putts: 18

Back 9 Presidio: 3,397 Yards Par 36

Hole 10: 398 Par 4

Bad drive out to the left that caught a fairway bunker. Had about 160 into the wind, hit a knock down 7 iron through the winds, drew in perfectly and finished just 1 ft away from the cup! Almost a hole out eagle, but after that tee shot, a tap in birdie feels about the same as if I had holed it. Birdie

Round (+1)

Hole 11: 178 Par 3

Crazy thing happened on this hole as we approached, a guy from the group in front of us tried to make a u-turn to the side of the lake, but instead of stopping to reverse, he drove right into the lake!! I have never seen anything like that in my life, pretty funny actually, the guy was alright and they eventually finished the hole after the staff brought out another cart for him. What an idiot, but we all had a nice laugh and my buddy took a picture. After we waited for the situation to clear up we played this difficult par 3 over the lake and that had a steady cross wind left to right. Hit a 6 iron today that over drew slightly and ended just in the back right. Hit a great little bump and run chip to about 4 ft…..but horrible missed the putt, pulled it. Bogey

Round (+2)

Hole 12: 511 Par 5

Dog leg right Par 5, reachable in 2 if you hit a deep drive, but I hit mine left again. Hit a nice 5 wood up just right of the green. Had to hit about a 30 yard flop that I flew a little too far and had about a 18 ft putt slightly downhill…..2 putted for par. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 13: 440 Par 4

Hit another really good drive down the left side of the fairway. Hit a solid gap wedge on to about 10 ft, but left the birdie putt a rotation short, par. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 14: 393 Par 4

Straightway par 4, but the fairway is separated by a river in the middle, so you are forced to lay up to about 220 from the tee. Hit a 4 iron that just missed the fairway on the right side. Had about 190 to flag, hit a 6 iron hoping to land it about 180 and run the rest…came off perfectly and ended about 8 ft below the hole. Rolled in the putt for a great birdie on this #1 handicapped hole on the Presidio 9. Birdie

Round (+1)

Hole 15: 538 Par 5

A nice par 5 to try and get a shot back….hit my drive over to the left and then tried to hit a 5 iron up, but caught it really thin and it just squirted forward. Bad shot, but made it up with a nice 8 iron that ended just short of green. Little bump and run with my PW and tapped in for a par. Par

Round (+1)

Hole 16: 374 Par 4

Pushed my drive left into the fairway bunker. Had about 145 into a cross wind, punched a 9 iron that drew just too much and spun right off the green. Hit another great little chip to about 5 ft and made the par putt. Par

Round (+1)

Hole 17: 148 Par 3

Heading into 17, I was sitting at only +1, my dream of shooting an under par round is a possibility if I can play the final 2 holes in -2. Admittedly I was not even paying attention to my score, I knew I had a great round going, but did not know I was only +1. Like I said earlier, I am reading the book Zen Golf and it talks about just clearing your mind and focusing on the next shot in front of you and not thinking about your score as a whole. Double bogeyed this hole yesterday when I hit a PW short, so I took out my 9 iron today. Would have been pin high if I did not leave it out way left where it took a horrible bounce off a cart path. Had to hit an amazingly high flop over a few trees to a short sided pin location with a bunker in-between. Impossible shot, but I did flop it over the trees, but too far and it landed in a bunker on the other side….where it plugged. Bad break, but was able to knock it out to about 6 ft, but of course I missed the putt for back to back double bogeys on this hole, which I now will forever hate! Double Bogey.

Round (+3)

Hole 18: 417 Par 4

Straight away par 4 that has out of bounds on the right side. Sliced my tee shot over to the left around some trees, but was able to advance it up just in front of the green. Little too strong on my chip and was left with about 8 ft for par. Looked good, but died left at the very end….finished this round double bogey, bogey….disappointing end to an otherwise great round. Bogey

Round (+4)

Was -1 on this 9 heading into the final 2 holes, but blew up to finish with a 38 (+2). At least no 3 putts today on this 9, compared to the 3 I had yesterday and I saw a cart in the middle of a lake so that’s a plus. Fairways Hit (FW): 1/7 14% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 4/9 44% Up/Downs: 2/5 40% Sand Saves: 0/0 0% Penalties: 0 Putts: 14

Final Stats: Fairways Hit (FW): 5/14 36% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 11/18 61% Up/Downs: 4/7 57% Sand Saves: 0/0 0% Penalties: 1 Putts: 32

Played at the Riverwalk today and we played the hardest of the three 9 hole combinations. I will actually be playing the exact same 9’s tomorrow as I was able to book a July 4^th tee time with my buddy. I’m excited about being able to play on back to back days and today I wanted to come out to the Riverwalk so that I could play the same course two days in a row. We played the Friars/Presidio combination today that plays at a rating of 71.7/129, but is much tougher than that. If you click on the scorecard picture you’ll find at the end of each 9 recap, you can actually see the hole layouts on the scorecard. Gives you a good visual to go along with my descriptions….enjoy!

Riverwalk: Friars/Presidio 6,627 Yards Par 72

Front 9 Friars 3,230 Yards Par 36

Hole 1: 384 Par 4

Straight away par 4, hooked my drive into the opposite fairway to the right. 2^nd shot was about 160 into the wind, took an 8 because I didn’t want to go over and it finished on the very front portion of the green. Had a long 70ft putt up the slope, hit a nice lag putt to about 4 ft and made the par. Par

Round (E)

Hole 2: 509 Par 5

Dog leg left par 5, hit my drive down the left side. Had a small tree in front of me so I couldn’t go for the green, just hit a 7iron over the tree, but pulled it slightly. My 3^rd shot was about 125, but had to keep it under another tree. Wanted to just hit a low punch cut shot, took a 9iron thinking it wouldn’t go that far. Hit it perfect and that was WAY too much club and it ended in the rough over the green. A huge downhill slope to the flag located at the very front, hit an amazing PW chip to about 5ft and left myself an uphill putt. Drained it, for a great up and down, par. Par

Round (E)

Hole 3: 342 Par 4

Dog leg right hole, where a lake runs down the right side. Our GPS wasn’t working so I didn’t know how much it was to carry the lake to the fairway on the other side, so I just hit a hybrid down the left side. Turns out it wasn’t that far over the lake and I could have cut the hole off a lot if I hit driver. Will probably go for that tomorrow depending on the wind. Had about 128 left and hit a gap wedge. Hit a bad shot that I layed off and it leaked to the left rough. Had to flop it over a bunker onto a downhill slope, ball landed just a ft too short and stayed up on the collar. Very delicate, difficult chip now left for my par down the slope…..knocked it in, boom!! Par

Round (E)

Hole 4: 171 Par 3

Hardest hole on this side, lake on the left and right of this narrow green. Hit a 6iron, but it just came up short in the bunker. When I got up to the green, found the ball plugged badly in the bunker….with water on the other side of the green, I was really scared of this next shot. Tried to put the negative chatter in my mind away and I hit a great shot up to about 10ft…phew! Missed the par putt, but that hole could have been a lot worse with the plugged lie I had in the bunker. Bogey

Round (+1)

Hole 5: 395 Par 4

Straight away par 4 that you can let the driver eat. Hit a perfect drive, solid and down the middle, it ended in the fairway only 78 yards from hole, a nice 317yard drive. Wedge game is killing me right now, hit a lob wedge that came up short. Should be putting those on the green within 12 ft 80-90%% of the time, got to fix that. Continued my great touch around the greens though with this chip that looked in, but hit the stick and stayed out. 1inch par tap in. Par

Round (+1)

Hole 6: 175 Par 3

Wind was helping today and hit a 7iron that finished about 8ft above the hole. A quick downhill putt that I played off the toe of the putter to try and kill some speed….birdie putt just burned the right edge of the hole, 2 putt par. Par

Round (+1)

Hole 7: 507 Par 5

Out of bounds to the left, so I made sure I went right. Pulled my drive onto the fairway on the right, but only had 220 into the par 5. Blind shot, so I hit a 5 iron that actually ended up just short of the green about 15 yards. Made a good PW pitch to about 8ft below the hole…..rolled in the straight putt for my first birdie of the day, back to even! Birdie

Round (E)

Hole 8: 403 Par 4

Slight dog leg right hole, took aim over a set of bunkers on the right side and crushed it. One of the best feeling and looking drives of my life, just perfectly in the center of the club face and ended only 73yards from the green in the fairway, 330yards! Hit a lob wedge, to the elevated green and it ended about 15ft above hole. 2 putted for a par. Par

Round (E)

Hole 9: 344 Par 4

Took a 3 wood and hit a solid drive down the middle. Only had 106 yards, but it was severally into the wind. I tried to trap a lob wedge and flight it under the wind, but caught it fat and it fell way short of the green. Had to hit a giant flop to the green and almost holed it, but it finished about 6ft away. A little right to left breaking putt, but I missed it on the low side to make a disappointing bogey to finish this solid 9 from only 100 yards out. Bogey

Round (+1)

A great 37 (+1) on this Par 36 Friars Front 9. Hit a few really great drives and kept the ball in bounds. My wedge game really killed me this 9, but my chipping was on fire. Fairways Hit (FW): 3/7 43% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 4/9 44% Up/Downs: 3/4 75% Sand Saves: 0/1 0% Penalties: 0 Putts: 13

Back 9 Presidio:3,397 Yards Par 36

Hole 10: 398 Par 4

Hit my drive solid, but left into the opposite fairway. Had about 150 into the wind, hit a great 8iron right at the flag, but it finished just on the front of the green. Had about a 20ft birdie putt that I misjudged the speed on and left it a good 8ft short, missed the next putt for a bad 3putt start to the back 9. Bogey

Round (+2)

Hole 11: 178 Par 3

Over a lake and had a steady cross wind left to right. Hit a 7iron and played the wind, landed on the green and rolled down the slope to about 15ft above the hole. Another horrible lag putt as I left this putt also about 6-7ft short. Back to back 3 putts as I missed my par putt……putting is going to be the death of me this back 9. Bogey

Round (+3)

Hole 12: 511 Par 5

Dog leg right Par 5, reachable in 2 if you hit a deep drive, but I hit mine left again into a parallel fairway. Took a 5wood and crushed up about 60 yards from the green. Hit an ok wedge shot this time, but it was still 15ft right of the hole. Leaving my last two lag putts short, I was going to make sure I got it to the hole this time…..a little too much and I ran it 5 ft by. What do you know…lipped out that putt for my 3^rd consecutive 3 putt….you have got to be kidding me right now!?!? Bogey on this par 5 from 60 yards out….unacceptable. Bogey

Round (+4)

Hole 13: 440 Par 4

Hit another really good drive that finished just in the rough, but was only 116 to middle of the green. Missed another green with a wedge in my hand as I left this one out to the left again. Continued my solid chipping as I chipped a PW to about 2ft, tap in par to stop the bogey train. Par

Round (+4)

Hole 14: 393 Par 4

Straightway par 4, but the fairway is separated by a river in the middle, so you are forced to lay up to about 220 from the tee. Hit a 4iron today that stayed down the left side in the rough. Had a terrible lie, basically dirty and in a depression. Tried to advance a 6iron, but hit it fat and it came up about 90yards short of green. Hit a good wedge to the center of the green, but missed my par putt. Bogey

Round (+5)

Hole 15: 538 Par 5

A nice par 5 to try and get a shot back….hit my drive over to the left and then hit a nice 5wood up to about 30yards. Had a really bad angle to the pin as it was tucked just over a bunker and I had to hit a long flop shot. Came off perfectly and finished just 6ft from hole for birdie….pulled the putt and let a great birdie opportunity slip by. Par

Round (+5)

Hole 16: 374 Par 4

Pushed my drive left and had to hit another punch cut shot to keep it under a branch. Only problem is this ball didn’t cut and came up short right. Hit a real nice chip to 4ft and made a nice up and down par. Par

Round (+5)

Hole 17: 148 Par 3

Someone in our group had a range finder and they said the pin was only 140. I hit a solid PW thinking that it was perfect, but it came up short. Thought it was in the hazard, but we found it almost imbedded on the edge in some long grass. Decided to play it and I had to chock down my wedge all the way to the metal and took a hack…popped out, but only a few ft. An unlucky break as that ball then rolled into a random pitch mark and I proceeded to leave that chip short as well. Kind of throwing my real solid round away here on 17….ended up making a double bogey 5. Double Bogey.

Round (+7)

Hole 18: 417 Par 4

Straight away par 4 that has out of bounds on the right side. Hit a real solid drive down the left side, ended up getting some nice roll on the cart path and finished only 80 yards away, 337 yard drive. Finally hit a solid wedge shot to about 8ft below the hole. Made the left to right breaking putt and finished my round off nicely with a much needed birdie on 18 after the disaster on 17. Birdie

Round (+6)

Started off this 9 with 3 consecutive 3 putt bogeys and a disastrous 5 on the par 3 17^th, but ended with a nice birdie on 18. Although my stats will say I hit 0 FW’s on the back 9, I did hit a lot of solid drives that just finished outside the fairways….putting is what killed me on this 9, 41 (+5). Fairways Hit (FW): 0/7 0% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 5/9 55% Up/Downs: 2/4 50% Sand Saves: 0/0 0% Penalties: 0 Putts: 18

Final Stats: Fairways Hit (FW): 3/14 22% (Drove the ball great today, many solid long drives and kept the ball in bounds all day, win for me) Greens in Regulation (GIR): 9/18 50% Up/Downs: 5/8 63% Sand Saves: 0/1 0% Penalties: 0 Putts: 32

Overall I’m pleased with this round, I feel like I’m starting to hit the ball better after a horrible last few weeks. My back 9 was extremely disappointing, but it was not my driving that killed me like previous weeks, it was my putting. I’m playing the same 9’s tomorrow so I should improve my speed. My chipping and up and down game is staying really solid…I have proven that I can get up and down over 50% of the time on a consistent basis now and that feels really really good. Still need to work on my 120 and in wedge game, can’t continue to miss greens from that distance or put it on, but 20+ft away from hole. That should be my scoring clubs and I need to be making birdies or pars from that distance automatically, not bogeys. That will come with more playing and consistent practice, but I feel good heading into my round tomorrow. Will be playing the same two 9’s so I hope that I can improve on my +6 score today. Played well enough today to shoot about 2-4 over, but I won’t complain about a round in the 70’s after the disappointing past couple weeks.

Round Recap: The Vineyard 81 (+11)

4^th round recap at the Vineyard, this is starting to look like my home course if I had any because it’s so cheap at twilight and in good condition. This pin positions, just like last round, were in really tough spot today, many on slopes, making two putting not a guarantee by any stretch. A disappointing round of 81 today, but when you read the recap, you’ll find out why.

The Vineyard Golf Course 6,531 Yards Par 70

Front 9

Hole 1: 420 Par 4

Snap hooked my opening tee shot into the hazard on the right, not a good way to start my round. Hit my drop onto the green and two putted for an opening hole bogey. Bogey

Round (+1)

Hole 2: 351 Par 4

Short dogleg left with water surrounding the left side and green. Took a 5iron and hit a solid shot down the middle of the fairway. Had about 112 into the green, slightly into the wind. Hit a sand wedge that landed on green, but spun back off. Hit a real nice bump and run with my PW to a tap in par. Par

Round (+1)

Hole 3: 125 Par3

Pin was way up again like it was 2 rounds ago, only playing around 75yards today. Just tried to punch a half lob wedge up there, but hit it too good and it flew over into the back rough. Hit another great chip to about 3ft and made another par save. Par

Round (+1)

Hole 4: 404 Par 4

Hit my usual 3wood off this tee, but for once I didn’t shove it way left and this one drew back toward the fairway…unfortunately it just got caught up in the lip of a bunker. Only had 100 yards to the front of the green, really awkward lie for me being a lefty as I was basically standing on the down slope of the lip. Just punched a pw out and hit a great shot that ran up pin high about 15ft right of flag. The pin location was positioned on the ridge in the middle of the green and being pin high, I was faced with an almost impossible putt to stop close as it was a big breaking right to left putt down the slope. I was just trying to get it to finish about 6-8ft below the hole so I would be putting uphill for par and I did just that. Really struggling with my confidence from this distances right now however and I pulled the pretty much straight 6ft putt and 3 putted for a bogey. Really hard pin location and even though I was center of the green in two, you needed to keep it below the hole today and that cost me. Bogey

Round (+2)

Hole 5: 401 Par 4

Decided to go with my driver today to keep working on the changes I found and hit a great drive down the middle and only had about 80 yards in. Pin was located on the back of this 3 tier green on another slope! I hit a poor wedge as I pushed it to the left, was pin high, but had another big sloping putt at about 25ft. Left my first putt well short and missed my par again, for back to back 3 putts. I need to stop making bogeys from 80yards in the fairway, no excuse, just need to practice more. Should be making birdies and pars, bogeys from there are just unacceptable. Bogey

Round (+3)

Hole 6: 152 Par 3

Took one club too many on this shot and killed a 9iron over the green….should have factored in the heat as it makes the ball travel slightly farther. Hit another excellent chip to a tap in and made par. Par

Round (+3)

Hole 7: 295 Par 4

A sharp dog leg right hole, but gives you an angle to drive the green in 1. Usually about 250-260 to carry the hazard and drive the green. Since I hit a 3wood out of bounds last week after I blocked it left, I went with my 5wood today thinking that if I hit the same shot I’d be ok this time. Hmmm….guess not, hit the same shot as last week, but crushed my 5wood through the fairway and into the street….so pissed at myself, this is a birdie hole, keep it in bounds and it’s an easy par, keep killing myself off this tee. Hit a big flop after my drop that ended about 15ft from hole, missed my par putt and made another bogey on this 18^th handicapped hole. Bogey

Round (+4)

Hole 8: 419 Par 4

Hit my best drive ever on this hole today, crushed it down the middle, hit the back of a hill in the fairway and got extra roll and only had 76yards in, 343 drive! Pin was located in another impossible spot, on an extreme down slope. I punched a wedge that landed about 3ft away, bit and spun back down the slope and about 15ft below the hole….this pin locations are brutal. Had an uphill right to left breaking putt that I left short, but made the par putt. Par

Round (+4)

Hole 9: 503 Par 5

Very reachable par 5, finally hit a good drive, was feeling confident in my driver at this point so I went with it today instead of my normal 3 wood. Hit a solid shot that was close to the fairway, but in the rough. Had only 184 yards to reach this par 5 in two. Wind was helping and I took an 8iron, but shoved it completed left. Horrible shot and ball ended on a down slope that I had to flop to get into the green. Hit a good shot to about 15ft, but missed the birdie. Let a good opportunity for birdie go after a nice drive because I left myself short sided again. Par

Round (+4)

Had two penalties off the tee and two three putts to shoot a 39 (+4) on this Par 35 Front 9. Was 3 for 3 on up and downs though, so chipping is staying solid. Fairways Hit (FW): 3/7 43% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 4/9 44% Up/Downs: 3/3 100% Sand Saves: 0/0 0% Penalties: 2

Back 9

Hole 10: 389 Par 4

Chose to hit my driver again instead of my normal 3wood, hit a great tee shot that went down the left side of the fairway, but just finished in the rough. It ended up in a little divot hole, but was able to get solid contact with a lob wedge. Had about 70yards to the uphill flag and stuck it to about 8ft. Rolled in my putt to get my first birdie of the day and a good start to this tough back 9. Funny how keeping the ball in play off the tee can do, triple bogey last week to a birdie this week. Birdie

Round (+3)

Hole 11: 457 Par 4

A very tight driving hole, hit a good drive that ended in the rough just to the left of the fairway. Had a bad angle into a back left hole location and I had to hit a small cut to avoid a tree. Clipped the top of the tree and it ended in the greenside bunker. There was little sand in this bunker and I hit it a little thin and it went out left. Was pin high, but needed to chip it again to get it onto the green. I was frustrated and should have gone to the back to switch clubs, but decided just to use the sand wedge. Hit a poor chip and was still left with about 9ft for bogey, missed it and made a bad double bogey. Double Bogey

Round (+5)

Hole 12: 154 Par 3

Another par 3 over water. Hit a great punch PW that hit left for pin and spun back to about 8ft for birdie. A slight downhill putt that lipped out and I made a par. Needed that birdie to fall badly. Par

Round (+5)

Hole 13: 477 Par 4

Downhill long par 4. Been feeling confident in my driver today, but I sliced this one way left. It was ok however in an adjacent fairway, but a long way to the green at 184 yards. Hit a 6iron, but caught it slightly fat and it came up short in the green side bunker. This time I hit a great blind bunker shot that finished about 6ft from cup….putting is letting me down today as I pulled this putt slightly too and it lipped out again. Bogey

Round (+6)

Hole 14: 412 Par 4

Water on the left and out of bounds on the right; hit a 4 iron down the left side that took a hard hard bounce and kept rolling through the fairway and into the water hazard. A really unlucky break, I crushed that ball and didn’t think I’d hit a 4iron that far. Dropped and hit a bad wedge that I quit on and it finished in another bunker. Hit a great downhill bunker shot to about 3 ft and made the putt for a bogey…could have been worse, but another penalty leads to another dropped shot. Bogey

(Round +7)

Hole 15: 551 Par 5

Hit a great drive just to the right of the fairway. Had a bad lie as the ball ended in a depression, so I could only hit a 6iron instead of go for the green from 244out. Left myself in the perfect spot, about 55 yards in the fairway, hit a wedge up to about 12ft. A downhill putt, but looked almost straight. I killed the putt, crushed it a good 6ft by and like I’ve been doing lately, missed the comeback putt. An absolutely horrible 3 putt bogey, my 3^rd of the day, and after being only 50yards from the green in two, my short game killing me now. Bogey

(Round +8)

Hole 16: 453 Par 4

The most difficult hole on the course according to the handicap on the scorecard. Took my driver out today and hit it into another hazard, 4^th penalty of the day. Hit my drop short of the green and hit my PW chip a little too hard and left myself about 6ft for bogey. Lipped out another putt and carded a double bogey 6. Double Bogey.

Round (+10)

Hole 17: 157 Par 3

Blocked an 8iron left, hit a great chip to a tap in par. Par

Round (+10)

Hole 18: 411 Par 4

Very scenic 18^th hole heading back down the hill to the clubhouse. Hit a great drive to only 68yards and it settled just through the fairway. Hit a bad 2^nd shot, just trying a half lob wedge and it ended short of green. Should have been an easy chip up, but left my chip short. Missed my putt to end the round with a bogey. Bogey

(Round +11)

Started this back 9 with a birdie, but finished 8over on my last 8holes to shoot a very disappointing 42 (+7) on the Par 35 Back 9. 0 fairways hit, but had about 4 that were just in the rough, pretty good drives, but technically weren’t fairways hit. Fairways Hit (FW) 0/7 0% Green in Regulation (GIR) 3/9 33% Up/Downs 1/2 50% Sand Saves 0/2 0% Penalties: 2

Final Score: 81 (+11) Fairways Hit (FW) 3/14 21% Green in Regulation (GIR) 7/18 38% Up/Downs 4/5 80%. Sand Saves 0/2 0% Penalties: 4 Putts: 33

Obviously a very disappointing round today at the Vineyard. I felt like I drove the ball well with my driver, better than I have over the past month, but still just can’t avoid the mistakes. I can’t keep having 2-4 penalties a round, absolutely killing me. My wedge game needs to improve from 100yards and in along with my lag putting. I’m starting to miss those 5-6 foot par putts as well over my last 3 rounds; my confidence from that distance has plummeted. The short game is just going to take a lot more practice, I’ve been focusing on my long game a lot over the past few weeks and I’m not really putting in the hours on or around the greens that’s needed to improve in those areas.

I’m going to be playing again this week on Wednesday, Thursday for sure and then hopefully on Sunday too. I was thinking about getting a lesson tomorrow, but I’m just going to put it off until next week. I don’t want to cloud my mind with too many new swing thoughts for my next few rounds, I need to just go out and play and trust my swing. My driver swing is improving, got all my distance back and I’m hitting it more solid. I’m hitting it straighter as well, so I hope I can maintain that on Wednesday and Thursday. This is going to be a long process getting to scratch and I’m starting to realize just how hard it is going to be, but these struggles will only make it more rewarding when I reach my goal. My scores are rising since the first couple weeks, but I do feel like I’m improving at the same time, it’s weird, but I think you know what I mean by that.

Executive Course Practice

Oaks North Executive Course

Quick update about the last couple days for me….On Wednesday, my buddy and I decided not to go play a full regulation 18 hole course, but rather go to an nice executive course in my area called Oaks North to practice our iron and short game. When I first started playing golf at 13 or 14, I used to go here almost every day after school. My mom would drop my friends and I off and we’d play a 9 or just practice for a few hours, coming back here brought back a lot of good memories. I haven’t been up here in probably 12 years and it’s funny how much smaller the holes feel. I remember playing the junior tournaments here every week and have a lot of first and 2^nd place trophy’s and ribbons from them still. There are three 9 holes courses at Oaks North; (North, South and East) each contains three par 4’s and the rest par 3’s. This is not a course where the par 3’s are only 100 yards, each is anywhere from 100-190, it really does test your wedge/mid iron game and the par 4’s are all about 250-300. As a kid I remember playing these par 4’s and thinking they were so long, now I can reach them all with 3 and 5 woods or less. Anyway, we walked the course and it was not too busy, so we hit multiple balls from different locations just to get some nice course practice in. I putted horrible, missed 4 putts from inside of 6 ft, feels like my putting is starting to get away from me now, where as before, these past 4 weeks, I have been putting lights out from that distance. I’ll get it back though, still getting the feel of the smaller, new putting grip I put on last week. I’ll definitely be back to this executive course more often than I thought, because it really is a good test of your wedge/short iron and up and down game, something that I need to perfect, as it is probably the most important factor in getting down to a scratch. Later that night, I went to the range to work on a few things and hit the ball alright. I still feel like I’m not doing a great job of implementing the changes my coach wants me to make; I’m working really hard to get it however.

On Thursday, I did a lot of work in front a full length mirror in my house, working on getting into the positions my teacher wants me to get into. It’s nice to be able to see yourself, like you would with a video and it gives you exponentially more feedback than just going off of feel. I’m still struggling with what the correct flat, layed off position is supposed to look or feel like, and so I’m going to need to get another lesson to make sure I’m doing it correctly. Thursday night, after working in the mirror for a couple hours, I went to the range to see how the ball flight and contact would be. I really worked on flattening my swing and it seemed to help a lot with the longer irons and woods. Was hitting a lot of solid, straight shots. Worked on the driver near the end and was hitting it a lot better than I have been in the past week. My last ball, I really concentrated and focused as if I was on the first tee, going through my entire pre shot routine, and crushed it down my target line. An older man, hitting next to me, who had been watching me for a bit, looked up and said “Well that’s about as perfect as you can hit it, you really took you’re time on that one, great looking swing.” It’s always a good feeling when you get complements on your swing at the driving range, gives you a nice boost of confidence.

I’m hoping to be able to play this weekend, but if not then hopefully we will make it 3 weeks in a row on Monday with my buddy. Will probably be playing on July 4^th also, I did that a few years back and nobody was on the course. For my international viewers who do not know, July 4^th is the holiday here in the United States to celebrate the day of our nations independence from the British in 1776, basically Americas birthday. (Sorry my many U.K viewers) It’s a great day to play some golf, BBQ and enjoy fireworks! Speaking of the U.K. I would love to go to the U.K. one day, the last name Tyson is English and I like watching the BBC and I think Karl Pilkington is a genius and one of the funniest men on earth, haha! The rich history of the British intrigues me and it would be a great place to visit one day.

Round Recap: The Vineyard 80 (+10)

Posted: June 25, 2013 in Golf Rounds
Tags: blog, course, dreams, future, goals, golf, hard work, PGA, practice, san diego, score, vineyard

Played a round at the Vineyard again today, was one of the toughest days I’ve had at the vineyard, the pin locations were all crazy tough. They were either located on a slope, or a few paces on or from the back of the greens…really difficult locations. You will be punished if you miss them green on the wrong sides today.

The Vineyard Golf Course 6,531 Yards Par 70

Front 9

Hole 1: 420 Par 4

2^nd time in a row on this opening hole, I’ve hit my opening tee shot down the middle over 300 yards, maybe that’s a good sign going forward when playing in tournaments and dealing with those first tee nerves, I don’t know. Hit in the fairway, but on an uphill slope only 95yards in, pulled a wedge pin high, but short sided off the green to the right. Had to hit a real delicate chip to get it to stop on this pin location and it rolled a good 15ft by, 2 putted for a bad opening hole bogey from less than 100 yards in the fairway….I can’t continue to do that if I expect to score low. Bogey

Round (+1)

Hole 2: 351 Par 4

Short dogleg left with water surrounding the left side and green. Tees were way back today and into the wind so I decided to take a hybrid instead of my normal 5iron, I hit a solid shot that started down the left side, but didn’t want to turn over back to the fairway. It hugged the edge of the water, bounced a few times and then leaking into the hazard. Had to drop and hit my next shot just over the pin into the back rough. Impossible chip shot again as I left myself in the absolute worst spot. Severe downhill chip with no green to work with and I couldn’t stop it, 15ft by again. Hit my first putt about 4ft short, had an uphill straight putt, but I pulled it and missed the 4ft putt and made triple bogey! Yikes, not the way I wanted to start out this round, need to do a lot of work to get this round back. Triple Bogey

Round (+4)

Hole 3: 125 Par3

Short par 3, tees and pin were up today and only played about 85 yards, crazy short. Hit a punch lob wedge that skipped on and stopped. Had about 15ft left up the hill for birdie, had the perfect line, but I left it about 3inches short, tap in par. Par

Round (+4)

Hole 4: 404 Par 4

Hit a 3 wood off tee and pushed it left, but only had about 135 in with a clear shot. Hit a gap wedge, onto the center of green, pin high, but about 25ft left of flag. 2 putted for a par. Par

Round (+4)

Hole 5: 401 Par 4

Hit a 3wood off the tee, didn’t want to go left like I seem to always do on this hole, so I ended up pulling it right into a fairway bunker. A 3 tier green, with the flag on the back tier today, had about 130 in, decided to smash a gap wedge. Hit a good shot that landed on, but spun back and settled just off the green. Took out my PW and had about a 15ft chip up the hill, so I could be aggressive. Really confident in my chipping right now and I hit a perfect chip that broke left to right and fell into the cup, chip in birdie! Needed that badly. Birdie

Round (+3)

Hole 6: 152 Par 3

Pin was in the far right of hole, hit a PW, but pushed it way left onto the far left fringe. Had about a 90ft chip, I played the same shot as last hole, but this time with a 9iron and it rolled down to about 5ft….made the next putt to save par. Par

Round (+3)

Hole 7: 295 Par 4

A sharp dog leg right hole, but gives you an angle to drive the green in 1. Usually about 250-260 to carry the hazard and drive the green. Tee box today, seemed to be back farther than last round, so I decided to hit a 3wood. I knew if I blocked it I would be ok, at least I thought, I blocked it and I thought it would be just 20yards left of the green. When we got up there, we found it up against the fence line and I was forced to take an unplayable lie and drop it for a penalty. So frustrating to have to take a drop on this hole, this is a very easy birdie hole; I guess I hit that 3wood over 270 in the air, looks like I can only hit 5wood on this hole from now on. Had to hit a big flop for my 3^rd that landed by the hole, but rolled 12 by. Putt for par was perfect, but left it just short again and made a bogey. Frustrated because I was starting to turn this round back around after the triple bogey on the 2^nd, but it’s just not to be today. Bogey

Round (+4)

Hole 8: 419 Par 4

Hit a driver down the left side and it ended up on a side hill lie above a fairway bunker. Just tried to punch a gap wedge up, but hit it fat because of the lie and it ended up in an ok spot, just short of green on fairway. Pitched it up to another side hill pin location and it stopped about 6ft away. 6ft up the hill, left to right breaker for par, that I played a little too much out to the left and I missed on the high side, bogey. Bogey

Round (+5)

Hole 9: 503 Par 5

Very reachable par 5, finally hit a good drive, bombed a 3wood down the middle, hit in the perfect spot and got some roll, only had 183 in, a 320 yard 3wood drive! Pin was tucked only about 5 paces on from the left and in the front of the green. So you couldn’t miss left…..which of course I did! Hit a 6iron that I pushed and was pin high, but short sided left. Had to hit a big flop and wasn’t able to stop it very close, 12ft for birdie. Missed the putt and 2 putted for par. I’ll take pars all day, but after that drive, I had a prime opportunity for a birdie or better and I need to start taking advantage of those. Par

Round (+5)

After the triple bogey on 2, I was only 1 over the final 7 holes. However, still extremely disappointed with having 2 penalties and shooting a 40 (+5) on this Par 35 Front 9. Fairways Hit (FW): 2/7 28.5% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 3/9 33% Up/Downs: 2/5 40% Sand Saves: 0/0 0% Penalties: 2

Back 9

Hole 10: 389 Par 4

Pushed a 3-wood down the left side, but it again got caught up in the fence line, couldn’t play it from there, had to take another unplayable. Hit a 9iron and short sided myself again. Had to land the ball in the fringe and let it feed down a slope to the hole, got too cute with it and left my chip short. Dead now, pin was at the bottom of a down slope, no way to get it close, had to just get it on and 2putted for another triple bogey. Disgusted, can’t remember the last time I had a triple bogey, yet alone two in the same round….felt like this round was slipping away from me now. Triple Bogey

Round (+8)

Hole 11: 457 Par 4

A very tight driving hole, that I’ve found you can go right over some trees and play it from the opposite fairway. It’s a bigger target that even runs down a hill so you gain distance and is a great angle to the green. Hit a driver on purpose over there today and it worked out very well, had only 140 into the green. Hit a PW that ended about 10ft for birdie, let the putt few inches short and made par on this difficult hole. Par

Round (+8)

Hole 12: 154 Par 3

Another par 3 over water. Hit a gap wedge just onto the fringe short of green. Chipped a PW up to about 5ft and made my par save. Par

Round (+8)

Hole 13: 477 Par 4

Downhill long par 4. Hit one of my best drives in a long time, high, solid and straight ended in the fairway only had 125 out, a 352 yard drive! Pin was in front, hit a 56 degree sand wedge to about 10ft, but missed the birdie, 2 putt par. Par

Round (+8)

Hole 14: 412 Par 4

Water on the left and out of bounds on the right; hit a 4 iron down the middle to 130 out. Another tough pin location on the down slope in the back of the green, tried to hit a PW, but pushed it out left into a trap. Really tough bunker shot to get close; I ran it a good 15ft by. Left my first putt short about 5ft and missed another straight in par putt because I pulled it. A bad double bogey, from the middle of the fairway with a wedge in my hand. Double Bogey

(Round +10)

Hole 15: 551 Par 5

Hit a drive that missed left again on an uphill slope. Hit a 7iron to lay it up, and then hit a wedge on the green, but about 25ft short of hole. Had a great line, but left it just short again and made a par. Par

(Round +10)

Hole 16: 453 Par 4

The most difficult hole on the course according to the handicap on the scorecard. Took my driver out today, rather than my normal 3 wood play and hit it down the left side. Ended up in an ok spot where I hit a 9iron to the back left pin location. Couldn’t get much spin out of the rough, it ended up landing perfectly in the center of green, but rolled to the back just in the 2^nd cut. I chipped it out to about 3ft and made a par. Par

Round (+10)

Hole 17: 157 Par 3

Hit a 9iron pin high, but 25ft left of the flag, a quick 2 putt for a par. Par

Round (+10)

Hole 18: 411 Par 4

Very scenic 18^th hole heading back down the hill to the clubhouse. Normally I play a 3wood off this tee, but today the way the round was going, already at +10, I wanted to just see how far I could bomb a driver down this hill, didn’t care at that point. Bomb it I did, over the bunkers on the right and it ended about 68yards from the green in the fairway, 343 yard drive! Hit a punch lob wedge that ended about 8ft below the cup, putting uphill. Unfortunately I couldn’t end my round with a nice birdie as I missed the putt, but made par. Par

(Round +10)

Another (+5) 40 on the Par 35 Back 9. 1 triple and 1 double bogey accounted for the entire +5…was even par on the other 7 holes. Fairways Hit (FW) 3/7 42% Green in Regulation (GIR) 5/9 55% Up/Downs 2/2 100% Sand Saves 0/1 0% Penalties: 1

Final Score: 80 (+10) Fairways Hit (FW) 5/14 36% Green in Regulation (GIR) 8/18 44% Up/Downs 4/7 57%. Sand Saves 0/1 0% Penalties: 3 Putts: 33

Obviously I’m very disappointed in this round. 2 triple bogeys and a double are just not acceptable at this stage in my game. I guess it’s going to happen from time to time, but I have to drive the ball in bounds, I can’t afford to make triples or doubles because I hit the ball into a hazard or out of bounds off the tee. Other than those 3 holes (which accounted for +8 of the +10), I was only +2 on the other 15 holes. My score was not so much a reflection of the difficult pin locations as much as it was just my poor ball striking, leaving myself short sided. Did not putt as well as I’d like today either with the new grip, it felt good, but was leaving a lot of putts short. I had 3 goals going into this round, but I failed in 2 out of the 3:

1) To have zero penalties (Failed, 3 penalties today)

2) Have a 50% or better up and down percentage (Completed, 57% today, 4/7)

3) Shoot a round in the 70’s (Failed, 80).

So I still have a lot of work to do, felt like I took a small step back in my ball striking today, but I’m not going to let this round get me down or discouraged, I know that I’m heading in the right direction and that with constant practice, patience and positivity, I will reach my goals!

Golf Lesson: Setting Up Square & Pulling with Right Arm

Posted: June 23, 2013 in Lessons, Long Game Practice
Tags: blog, change, coach, golf, hard work, lesson, PGA, practice, san diego, stadium

Went to get a lesson today, decided to keep working on my long game and try and gain more confidence in the things I’m doing. Lesson went well, overall my teacher thinks that I’m improving and I can feel that as well. I’m still struggling with shifting my hips forward instead of around and it’s causing me to get too steep and open. In those positions my timing has to be perfect to make it work, so it breeds inconsistency. Was also setting up a little open with my shoulders and hips, so we worked on that for a bit getting the feeling down of what it feels like to be set up square. After the lesson I finished off my basket of range balls and by the end I was really started to get it. Hit about my last 8 drivers, pretty straight and with solid distance. Hit a few 6irons and wedges also to make sure that it translated over to those clubs also and it did. I really needed to get my confidence back after my terrible range session on Friday when I felt like I lost it, so today was a good day for that.

I’m playing on Monday this week after work and then hopefully again on Wednesday, so at least 2 rounds this next week, I look to keep improving my ball striking and lowering my scores. I’m at the point right now that I should not be shooting anything in the 80’s, it should be all 70’s from here on out or I will be extremely disappointed. As long as my short game keeps improving, I don’t think this should be a problem. My goals for tomorrows round are to keep the ball in play off the tee, have an up and down percentage of no worse than 50% and make 2 or more birdies. If I do those things, the score will take care of itself. Will be my 3^rd round over at the Vineyard course since starting this blog….have scores of 74 (+4) and 76 (+6) on the books, 75 or lower would be ideal.

Here is a video recap of my lesson today, the audio is a little tough because of the wind and his video froze near the end, but he basically was just showing me using my left hand in the downswing more than my right.

New Putter Grip, Driving Range Practice

Posted: June 22, 2013 in Long Game Practice, Short Game Practice
Tags: blog, golf, hard work, motivation, PGA, practice, putting, san diego, stadium

Spent the past few days at the range working on my game, Thursday I hit the ball well, continuing my solid play as of late, but Friday was kind of a struggle. On Thursday, worked a lot with my driver trying to figure out how to hit it more solid and found that I was getting too steep again. Went flatter and hit about 10 drives in a row in the true center of the club face to end my night. Hearing that sound that a flush driver makes, is just music to my ears, one of my favorite sounds on earth is the sound of a pure flush golf shot! After the great ending to my range session on Thursday night, I decided to head back again on Friday night to keep working on it. This is why golf is so frustrating!! I felt like I was doing the exact same thing I did the night before, but could not find a flush golf shot. I hate feeling like you just took a few steps back after taking so many steps forward over these past few weeks, but I’m just going to forget about that range session and chalk it up to the difficulty of golf. I felt myself getting frustrated again near the end of the practice session as I could tell I was hitting the ball below what I’m capable of. I was just getting too mechanical again instead of just letting it flow and swinging with a target in mind. So I’m throwing away this range session away in my mind, moving past it and keeping positive and focused on my end goal.

Been about 2 weeks since my last lesson from my instructor, was going to wait until Tuesday this week to go see him because I thought I would be playing a round this weekend, but plans fell through, so I might try and book one for tomorrow, Sunday. Wanted to get a short game lesson in, but after last night’s range session, I think I need a tune up with the longer clubs. Really confident in my short game right now, what I’m doing right now is working, so I’ll hold off on that until next lesson, need to figure out this long swing and get more consistent.

I did get a new putter grip installed and got my putter head re-glued as it was coming loose. I forgot to take a picture of my original putter before I took it up, but I’ll show you a picture of how it looks now. I put on a jumbo sized tiger shark grip probably about 6 months back, thinking it would help with my putter grip and be more comfortable. I liked it and I putted well with it on, but I could just never really get into the feeling, it just did not fit my hands very well and was a little too big. Been looking at midsize grips for the past few weeks and I love the feel, design and size of this white Winn midsize grip I found. Has a very soft tacky feel, the midsize is a little bigger than standard, but not overly, just right for me. I putted a little with it yesterday and absolutely love the way it looks and feels. Here are some pictures of the new grip and the old grip I had for comparison (Yes I’m left handed!)

Round Recap: Riverwalk Golf Club – Presidio/Mission 79 (+7)

Posted: June 20, 2013 in Golf Rounds
Tags: blog, golf, PGA, river, round, san diego, score, walk

The Riverwalk course features 3 different 9 hole courses named Presidio, Mission and Friars. I love this course, it is in great condition from tee to green and a really fun play. Today we played the Presidio/Mission combination from the tips for a combined slope and rating of 71.9/126. Enjoy!

Riverwalk Golf Club: Presidio/Mission 6,550 Yards Par 72

Front 9 Presidio: 3,397 Yards Par 36

Hole 1: 398 Par 4

A short opening hole, slightly moves right to left, hit my tee shot left in the rough. Had a great lie and angle to hole, knocked a wedge to about 25 ft above the hole. Real quick putt and knocked it a good 10ft by….but made the comebacker par putt to save an opening hole 3 putt disaster. Par

Round (E)

Hole 2: 178 Par 3

Over a lake and into the wind to a back right pin location. This type of shot sets up nice for my little draw and I tried to muscle a 7iron to flag. Right at it, but about 15 ft short and it settled below the ridge in the middle of the green. So an uphill right to left breaking putt for birdie. Still not figuring out the greens yet as I left this a good 7ft short. Clutched up again and made my 7ft par putt. Par

Round (E)

Hole 3: 511 Par 5

Dog leg right Par 5, reachable in 2 if you hit a deep drive, but I kind of hit mine off the heel and it squirted out low and left. Still got good distance however, but had a bad lie in the rough. Layed up with a 7iron to the middle of the fairway about 80yards away. This part of my game, my 100 yards and in game would haunt me today and cost me an great score….hit this shot about 30ft over the flag and had a long putt for birdie. Left this putt WAY short also, but made another 7-10ft putt for par (feeling really confident from that length right now). Par

Round (E)

Hole 4: 440 Par 4

Crushed my drive and only had about 120 left in, ran slightly through the fairway into the rough. Into the wind so I hit a gap wedge, stuck it to about 8ft. Slight left to right breaker for birdie, felt confident and knocked it in for an early birdie! Birdie

Round (-1)

Hole 5: 393 Par 4

Straightway par 4, but the fairway is separated by a river in the middle, so you are forced to lay up to about 220 from the tee. Just tried to hit a 5iron into the fairway, but blocked it WAY left. Landed on the fringe of an adjacent green with a bridge right in front of my line to the green about 165yards away. This is where I need to work on course management and take my medicine and just hit a Pw over the bridge and play for no worse than 5, but I thought I could get it over and went for it with a 7iron. Hit a great shot, looked like it was going to make it through the bridge, but caught one of the top beams at the very last moment and it shot the ball who knows where. Couldn’t find the ball and was forced to drop, hit my next on, but 2 putted for a double bogey 6. Bad play by me. Double Bogey

Round (+1)

Hole 6: 538 Par 5

A nice par 5 to try and get a shot back….bombed my drive down the middle and only had about 220 in. Took my 21 degree hybrid and hit a low shot just right of the hole…it landed just short and rolled up onto the green, but ended about 60ft away at the back of the green. Hit another long putt extremely short and left myself another good 9-12ft putt….this one I missed however, letting a great opportunity to get another birdie slip away with this 3 putt for par. Par

Round (+1)

Hole 7: 374 Par 4

Pushed my drive left into the other fairway, but had a great angle and lie about 116 to hole….left it horrible short as I didn’t play enough club for the wind. Had to chip up to a pin in the middle of the green, anything short is flat and perfect, but past hole is a big slope….hit my chip too hard and left myself about 7 ft above the hole, big right to left breaking putt for par. Really bad chip, no excuse to go above the hole at all and it cost me par as I hit a great putt that lipped out and I made a bad bogey on this hole. Bogey

Round (+2)

Hole 8: 148 Par 3

Was playing about 158 today, with the wind into the face to a right pin location. Over drew an 8iron a little too much and it landed short sided pin high. Not much green to work with, but I made an excellent chip to about 3 ft and made a nice up and down par. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 9: 417 Par 4

Straight away par 4 that has out of bounds on the right side. Aimed it down the left side and hit a great drive, only left with 80 yards in. Hit another horrible wedge, pin high left into the green side bunker. Flag was only about 5 paces on from left so I had to try and get my shot up quickly and land it into the rough and let it just feed on….hit an perfect shot that rolled to about 4ft…..made a very difficult sand save to finish this 9 off with a par. Par

Round (+2)

Was able to get away with bad lag putting and that stupid double bogey on 5 to only shoot a (+2) 38 on this Par 36 Presidio Front 9. Fairways Hit (FW): 1/7 14% (Wasn’t missing FW’s by much) Greens in Regulation (GIR): 5/9 55% Up/Downs: 1/2 50% Sand Saves: 1/1 100% Penalties: 1

Back 9 Mission: 3,153 Yards Par 36

Hole 10: 388 Par 4

With a river running right in front of the tee box, I hit a 3 wood right into the center of the fairway. Had only about 90 yards in, but again missed the green, long left. Made a nice chip to about 9ft, but lipped this one out for a bogey. Bogey

Round (+3)

Hole 11: 293 Par 4

Short dog leg left hole, layed up with just a 5iron into the fairway. Only 88yards in and AGAIN I failed to get it close, ran just pasted the hole into the fringe about 12ft above the hole. Hit a great putt that looked in until the very last second and it turned left and made a par. Par

Round (+3)

Hole 12: 304 Par 4

The signature hole here at Riverwalk, (The picture at top of post is of this green) a dog leg right with a giant lake down the right side and in front of this semi island green. Crushed a hybrid straight, but it ran just through the fairway. Hit 85 yards again and hit a horrible short shot that just barely stayed up from rolling back into the river. Was almost standing in the water as I hit a great flop shot to 6ft, but lipped out again, would have been a great par save. Bogey

Round (+4)

Hole 13: 526 Par 5

Hit a solid drive to the right that hit above a bunker and ALMOST rolled into the water on the other side. It was so close against the edge that I had to hit it right handed! Decided against taking an unplayable and wanted to give it a try righty (always wanted to try this). Took a PW and actually advanced it up about 25yards! Took a 5wood from the rough about 235out and hit a great low shot that ran up onto the green, 2 putted for a par. Par

Round (+4)

Hole 14: 178 Par 3

Tough long par 3, into the wind today, hit a 6iron solid, but missed the green right. Had to hit a flop shot, that I over cooked slightly and it just rolled off the back, 2 putted from there for a bogey. Bogey

Round (+5)

Hole 15: 354 Par 4

Dogleg right, crushed a 5wood with a nice draw into the fairway, only 80yards in. Same type of shot I’ve been struggling with all day and no different here, I hit it over and missed green….horrible! Hit another great chip to 6ft, but lipped out again! Bogey

Round (+6)

Hole 16: 190 Par 3

Hit a 5iron pin high, but missed left. Flopped it to about 2 ft and tapped in for a quick par. Par

Round (+6)

Hole 17: 378 Par 4

Hit my driver and had another 80 yard shot to flag from middle of the fairway. Came up way short of where I wanted and had a 50 ft putt for birdie. Crushed my putt 10ft by, but again clutched up and made the long par save, wow. Par

Round (+6)

Hole 18: 542 Par 5

Hit my drive down the left side, but just finished in the rough. Had only about 230 to carry the river in front of the green, last hole, might as well go for it right?? Hit a hybrid, pushed it a little left which meant I needed to carry more river than I had factored in. Looked like it got over from our view point, but when we got up there it had not, found it barely in the hazard. Had to drop and chipped up to about 5ft and still had a par saving putt. Been making these all day long, but just miss hit this one and it missed top side. Bogey to finish my round out. Bogey

Round (+7)

Bad back 9 score of (+5) 41, just couldn’t get my 80-100yard shots on or close to flag. Wedge game cost me on this 9. Fairways Hit (FW): 4/7 57% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 2/9 22% Up/Downs: 2/7 29% Sand Saves: 0/0 0% Penalties: 1

Final Stats:

Fairways Hit (FW): 5/14 36% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 7/18 38% Up/Downs: 3/9 33% Sand Saves: 1/1 100% Putts: 32 Penalties: 2

Overall I’m disappointed in my score because I finally drove the ball well…even though my stats show only 5 fairways hit, probably had about 5 more that were barely off the fairway. My weak point today was my wedge game; 6 times I had about 100 yards in or less from fairways and could not put it close or even on the green. It’s disappointing because that has been strength of mine these past few weeks, so it’s just one of those off days. I need to practice a lot on getting my exact distances down with those wedges. For example I need to know how far a chock down lob wedge goes, compared to a full grip lob wedge, 3quarter choke down lob wedge and half shot lob wedge. If I can find out the exact distances my 60, 56 and 52 degree wedges go when I’m at full, half or low grip and at full, 3quarter and half swing lengths that will help me score better. Right now I’m going off of feel and I need exact distances so I don’t have to second guess what to do. Overall though, I keep saying it, but I am definitely improving. I feel really confident out there with my swing, from tee to green. It’s starting to come together and I cannot wait until the day that it all just clicks!

Will probably be playing again on Saturday if everything goes according to plan. I think today I’m going to go get my putter head re-glued and get a new grip put on. (Right now I have a slightly fatter grip) I have been putting really well, but I think my putter head is sitting closed and the grip has bothered me every since I bought it, I need something slightly smaller. It’s time for a change and if I get it done, I’ll post a before and after picture of my putter for reference.

Round Recap: The Vineyard 76 (+6)

Was able to go play today with a buddy right after work, but unfortunately had zero time to warm up. I got to the course at about 2:45 and we teed off at 2:52, so we got in our cart and headed to the first tee. The first 4 holes should prove that a good warm up and stretch before a golf round is a must. Enjoy!

The Vineyard Golf Course 6,531 Yards Par 70

Front 9

Hole 1: 420 Par 4

With no warm up, I was surprised when I hit my first drive right down the middle. Had just under 100 yards in, so I hit that first drive about 320, good feeling. Hit a wedge to about 20 ft short right of hole. Ended up crushing my first putt about 10ft by, no putting practice to get a grasp on the speed killed me on this hole as I hit my next a few feet by also and 3 putted the first for a bogey. Bogey

Round (+1)

Hole 2: 351 Par 4

Short dogleg left with water surrounding the left side and green. Started a 5iron on the left side, but it hung on just in the rough and was only about 100 yards to the green over water. My wedge distances were off in the beginning of the round as I hit a lob wedge way over into the back bunker. Hit a solid bunker shot, but it was downhill to the flag so it ran just off the front. Used a putter from the fringe, had the line, but left it short, tapped in for another bogey. Bogey

Round (+2)

Hole 3: 125 Par3

Short par 3, Playing about 115 today, hit another lob wedge over the green, don’t know what was going on and ball plugged in the back bunker. No green to work with, plugged lie and water behind the green, I just had to play it out the side and not risk hitting it over into the water. Hit it over safe in the rough and pitched up about 15ft short on my next shot, 2 putted for a bad double bogey on this short par 3. Double Bogey.

Round (+4)

Hole 4: 404 Par 4

Hit a 3 wood off tee and pushed it left. Still had a great angle into the green about 140 in. Hit a solid PW that landed on green, but rolled through to rough. Hit a good chip to about 5ft past cup, but missed the putt for another bogey. Bogey

Round (+5)

Hole 5: 401 Par 4

+5 over my first 4 holes was really starting to get me down, but it also caused me to bear down and focus. I made a goal for myself to play the remaining 5 holes of this front 9 at even or better….this is where my great string of holes started. Hit my drive to the left, but hit a great wedge to about 12 ft, 2 putted for a much needed par. Par

Round (+5)

Hole 6: 152 Par 3

Pin was in the far right of hole, hit a 9iron at the flag, but it landed over in the rough. Hit a great chip to 6ft and made the putt for back to back pars to stop the bleeding. Par

Round (+5)

Hole 7: 295 Par 4

A sharp dog leg right hole, but gives you an angle to drive the green in 1. Usually about 250-260 to carry the hazard and drive the green. I hit a 5wood today and hit it so pure. We couldn’t see the flag stick, but I knew it was probably aimed at the center of the green. When we got up there I was only 15 ft for eagle! So happened I hit it exactly on line with the flag and had I hit it a few feet further it could have been a tap in eagle. I missed the eagle putt, but I’ll take a birdie all day. Birdie

Round (+4)

Hole 8: 419 Par 4

Hit a driver and pushed it left into the opposite fairway. Had another great angle into the green and hit a knock down wedge that spun back to only 8 ft. A downhill putt that just burned the edge and I tapped in for par. Par

Round (+4)

Hole 9: 503 Par 5

Very reachable par 5, but I pushed my drive again to the left. No chance to go for the green in two today with trees blocking me out so I just punched a 7iron under the trees to about 120 yards in. Hit another punch down wedge to about 12ft, 2 putted for par. Par

Round (+4)

After starting +5 over the first 4 holes, I was able to turn it around and finished with a very solid 39 (+4) on the par 35 Front 9. Fairways Hit (FW): 2/7 28.5% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 5/9 55% Up/Downs: 1/2 50% Sand Saves: 0/2 0%

Back 9

Hole 10: 389 Par 4

Pushed a 3-wood down the left side, but luckily stayed in bounds down the left side. Side hill lie with ball below my feet, I hit a 9iron just short and to the right of the green. Pitched it up, but it checked up more than I had anticipated and left me a good 10ft for par. Missed and 2 putted for bogey. Bogey

Round (+5)

Hole 11: 457 Par 4

This is a very difficult driving hole and I pushed my drive to the left. I pushed it so far left that I was on top of a ridge looking down on the hole and I actually had a straight shot to the green. Hit a club less than I should have and it came up just short. Had to hit a flop shot to stop it with little green I had to work with on the front pin location. Hit it to about 7ft and made the left to right breaking putt for a real nice par save. Par

Round (+5)

Hole 12: 154 Par 3

Another par 3 over water. Hit it to the center of the green and was about 20 ft left of the flag. 2 putted for par. Par

Round (+5)

Hole 13: 477 Par 4

Pushed another driver left into a trap. Hit a great blind 9iron shot just onto the back of the green. Chipped a pitching wedge to about 5 ft and made another par putt. Par

Round (+5)

Hole 14: 412 Par 4

Water on the left and out of bounds on the right; hit a 4 iron down the middle to 132 out. Hit a punch gap wedge right at the flag, hit and spun to about 8ft. A quick downhill putt off a slope and the putt looked like it could have broken either way. I looked at it from both sides and came to the conclusion that the breaks might just cancel each other out and it would just be a straight putt….trusted it and rolled it into the back of the cup, birdie! Birdie

(Round +4)

Hole 15: 551 Par 5

Hit a drive that missed left again on an uphill slope. Tried to just it a 6iron up the fairway, but the slope just killed my follow through and it squirted up the fairway with not much distance. Had a lot father in that I wanted at about 170. Hit a 6iron just short right of the green. Plenty of green to work with and ran a PW up to a tap in par. Par

(Round +4)

Hole 16: 453 Par 4

The most difficult hole on the course according to the handicap on the scorecard. Hit a 3 wood up the right side that settled just in the rough on a little side hill lie. Ball was below my feet, still about 165 out so I decided to hit a solid 7iron. Hit it flush and it landed in the center of the green about 15 ft away. My putt looked in all the way, but died left at the very end…so close to stealing a birdie on this #1 handicap hole, but I’ll take par here everytime. Par

Round (+4)

Hole 17: 157 Par 3

Pushed a 9iron pin high, but way left. Tried to trap it and hit it low under the wind, but ended up blocking it. Had to flop it over a bunker onto the green, hit a great shot to 6ft. My 6ft and in putting has been really good lately and that part of my game is improving drastically….drained it for a nice par save. Par

Round (+4)

Hole 18: 411 Par 4

Very scenic 18^th hole heading back down the hill to the clubhouse. Was at even par for the back 9 and 1 under since the 5^th hole. Hit a horrible 3 wood to the left and found the out of bounds! Had to re-tee and thankfully hit a perfect drive. Laced a sand wedge to about 10 ft below the hole, but 2 putted for a disappointing final hole double bogey. Had I not hit my tee shot out of bounds, I would have made a par, but the 2 stroke penalty cost me a nice +4 round. Double Bogey

(Round +6)

A good 37 +2 on the Par 35 Back 9. Was at even on the back until the 18th. Would have been nice to shoot even, but I’m not complaining about +2, especially with the few amount of FW’s and Green’s hit that back 9. Fairways Hit (FW) 1/7 14% Green in Regulation (GIR) 3/9 33% Up/Downs 4/5 80%. Sand Saves 0/0 Penalties: 1

I’m really proud of myself for not letting my horrible +5 start over the first 4 holes affect the rest of my round. I was able to refocus and shoot -1 over the next 13 holes, until the double bogey at 18. My iron, wedge and short game are improving nicely and my driving has gotten better, but not anywhere close to where I need it to be to shoot under par. I’ll keep grinding my driver and woods and get this figured out soon enough, I’m improving, just got to take it to the course and prove it. Will hopefully be playing again this week on Wednesday and possibly Saturday too, so stay tuned for more round recaps. Might get in a lesson sometime this week as well. Final stats for today’s round are as follows:

Final Score: 76 (+6) Fairways Hit (FW) 3/14 21% Green in Regulation (GIR) 8/18 44% Up/Downs 5/7 71%. Sand Saves 0/2 0% Putts: 30 Penalties: 1

Round Recap: Meadow Lake Golf Course, 77 (+6)

Posted: June 8, 2013 in Golf Rounds

Played a round today with a buddy over at Meadow Lake Golf Club in Escondido, CA, had never played over there before today. We found a tee time online at Golfnow.com for 42% off, $35 a fairly cheap rate. We finished the round in only about 4 hours, was able to go just us two and did not have to wait at all until the 17^th and 18^th. Really fun round and we took our time to practice chips and putts after finishing our first ball, got in some good course condition practice today. The greens and the chipping areas surrounding the greens were in excellent condition, the fairways and tee boxes were pretty rough, but overall I really enjoyed the course and will definitely be back to play again. The course plays at a par 71, with a rating and slop of 72.3/129 and measures 6,524 yards from the tip black tees. We played today from the tips (black tees) and I shot a very solid round of 77 (+6)

Meadow Lake Golf Club 6,524 Yards Par 71

Hole 1: 569 Par 5

Blind tee shot first hole, dog leg left. Wanted to favor the right side and let the fairway slope kick the ball left, hit a solid drive, but a little too far right along the cart path and it settled in the rough. The dog leg makes it difficult to hit it far enough to have a go for the green in 2, so I just layed up to about 100 yards. Hit a nice lob wedge to about 8 feet, but missed the birdie putt. Par

Round (Even)

Hole 2: 398 Par 4

Another dogleg hole, but this one to the right. I tried to cut the corner a bit with a 3 wood, drew it too much and was in the rough about 145 out. The 2^nd shot plays to an elevated green so it’s a blind shot. Not knowing how the green looks, I just took dead aim and hit a nice 9iron to about 15 ft left of the pin. Quick downhill putt, but 2 putted for par. Par

Round (Even)

Hole 3: 310 Par 4

A straight away par 4, but up a hill, so another blind tee shot and 2^nd shot. Hit a 3 wood to the left side of the fairway, but it ran through to the rough. Had about 80 yards in, knocked a lob wedge to about 12ft. VERY fast putt as the green ended up running back to front (wish I knew that prior!) ran the putt about 6 ft by, but clutched up and made the come backer for par. Par

Round (Even)

Hole 4: 176 Par 3

This is a really neat par 3 that plays straight downhill, wish I would have taken a picture, but it reminds me of #7 on the North Course of Torrey Pines, looks about the same minus the beautiful ocean. The scorecard says to play 2 clubs down, but I think it was playing even more as I hit a PW over the green. Normally I hit my PW about 130-140, so it was playing a good 30-40 yards drop. Left myself with little green to work with and a downhill slope. Just tried to just chip it up into the fringe and let that kill the speed and trickle onto the green, but it got caught up in the fringe and stayed there. Chipped my next one to about 3 ft and made the bogey. Bogey

Round (+1)

Photo I took of Torrey Pines North #7 during this year’s PGA Tournament. For some perspective, the hole today was severely more downhill than this, but not nearly as scenic

Hole 5: 303 Par 4

At 303yards it was the shortest par 4 on the course and a straight forward hole, with a little uphill toward the green. Hit a great drive to about 25 yards, pitched it on to about 7 ft, very makeable, but missed another birdie putt. Par

Round (+1)

Hole 6: 367 Par 4

Another straight away hole, striped a drive down the middle and had about 80 yards in. Flipped a lob wedge to about 15ft, had a great line on the putt, but just didn’t hit it, 2 putt par. Par

Round (+1)

Hole 7: 176 Par 3

A solid par 3, tugged a 7iron to the right of the green. Had a slight downhill lie with little green to work with, it died on the fringe again and was left with about an 8ft par putt that I missed. Bogey

Round (+2)

Hole 8: 417 Par 4

Downhill par 4 where you can let a drive rip, pulled it though into the right rough. Had about 133 to a lowered green, ball didn’t fly out of rough like I thought it would and left it short in the trap. Hit a poor bunker shot to the fringe and then 2 putted for a disappointing bogey. Bogey

Round (+3)

Hole 9: 497 Par 5

Dog leg right par 5, hit a nice drive down the right side, had about 212 in, but a horrible lie, so I just knocked a 6iron to the middle of fairway about 50 yards from green. Hit a great pitch to about 6 ft and made the uphill putt for birdie. Birdie

Round (+2)

A nice (+2) 38 on the Par 36 Front 9. Fairways Hit (FW): 3/7 43% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 6/9 66.6% Up/Downs: 0/2 0% Sand Saves: 0/1 0%

Hole 10: 161 Par 3

This hole requires a very accurate tee shot, out of bounds to the left and bunkers to the right. Hit a great 8iron to center of green about 9 ft short of flag. Had a slight right to left breaker up the hill, a great look at birdie, but couldn’t convert again. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 11: 383 Par 4

Straight away par 4, but you need to keep it in the right half so you have the best angle to the green, hit a great drive down the center right. Stuck a lob wedge to about 7 ft, probably the best birdie look I had all day, flat putt, but I missed it. The birdies are just not falling for me right now. Par

Round (+2)

Hole 12: 405 Par 4

A dog leg right hole where the right is a hazard, a tight driving hole that you must put down the left side. Tried to just hit a 3 wood and over cooked it to the right and it found the hazard. Was able to drop it as it was a red stake and hit a wedge to about 8 ft, but of course missed the putt again for par. Poor tee shot leads to a bogey. Bogey

Round (+3)

Hole 13: 547 Par 5

Another dogleg hole this time to the left where the dog leg starts at about 230. This is a 3 shot par 5, almost impossible to get there in 2 with the short tee shot you are forced to hit. I tried to be a hero and hit a cut 5 wood around the corner, but that was a big mistake as I cut it too much and it hopped into another hazard. Took my drop behind some trees and could only advance it to about 200 yards out. Hit a 5iron to the severe uphill green and had about a 20ft par putt. My putter picked a good time to actually make a putt today as I sunk the tough right to left breaking putt for a great par save! Par

Round (+3)

Hole 14: 219 Par 3

A long par 3 at almost 220 yards, slightly downhill with trouble to the left. Hit a 5 iron just short of the green, chipped up, but missed the par save for a bogey. Bogey

Round (+4)

Hole 15: 426 Par 4

A long, but wide open par 4 where you can let a drive rip. Unfortunately I hit a poor shot, pulling it low and to the right. Ball settled in a dirt hole that was nearly impossible to advance the ball very far. I took a good whack at it, but could only advance the ball maybe 70yards. Hit a wedge just onto the back fridge about 15ft away, missed the putt and made another bogey. Bogey

Round (+5)

Hole 16: 159 Par 3

Hit it short of the green just barely on the fringe and was able to 2 putt for much needed par to stop the bleeding. Par

Round (+5)

Hole 17: 450 Par 4

A blind tee shot with just two giant boulders right infront of the tee box as a marker that you have to hit over with a driver. They tell you to just aim at the right boulder as that should be the angle to the middle of the fairway. Hit a great drive, 300+ right into the center of the fairway. Only about 140 in, but pushed a wedge short and left, really a great opportunity blown on this #2 hardest hole on the course according to the scorecard. Had a trickle chip shot that I debated between flopping it high or chipping it low and spinning it up. I chose wrong and decided to chip it low and it ran about 12 ft by, 2 putted for bogey. Should of flopped it! Bogey

Round (+6)

Hole 18: 561 Par 5

Another long difficult par 5 with a dog leg right off the tee then to a dog leg left for the 2^nd shot. Hit a good drive down the left side, wasn’t in a very good spot for my 2^nd so I just layed it up with a 7 iron. Got a bad bounce and ended up under a tree about 120 yards out. Punched a 7iron trying to stay under the tree and run it up onto the green, but it came up about 25yards short. Made a great pitch to about 5 feet and made a nice par save to end my round. Par

Round (+6)

Had a bad stretch of golf over my last 7 holes going +4. Ended the back 9 with a score of 39 on the Par 35. Fairways Hit (FW): 2/6 33% Greens in Regulation (GIR): 2/9 22% Up/Downs: 3/6 50% Sand Saves: 0/0 0%

** For future reference, the “NC” written on my scorecards under the green section is used to indicate that I had no chance to reach the green in regulation, either from a tee shot out of bounds, a horrible lie, or blocked out by items.**

Overall not a bad round for me, I can definitely tell that my game is improving and that really means a lot to me, knowing that my hard work is starting to pay off slowly but surely. My driving improved from Wednesdays round and that was something that I was really working hard to fix. I’m excited to see what I can shoot when that part of my game gets really good. Playing a new course for the first time can be very difficult, but I think I handled it fairly well, +6 from the tips at a new course is nothing to scoff about and I gained a lot of course knowledge for the next time I play here. I hope you like my round recaps, it’s a lot of work, but I really enjoy writing them and I hope you enjoy reading it too. On a side note, great news that this round today lowered my handicap to a new all time low! It dropped from 5.1 to a 4.6, feeling good and ready for more!
