Results from today's charity golf outing
First off, Weston Hills Country Club is nestled amoung some very nice homes. The course itself is actually rather hilly for a Florida course, somewhat like what I've played in South Carolina with waste areas and the like dotting the fairways. As many courses down here do, there's a reasonable amount of water to add to the challenge.
It's in rather good shape, but we certainly found the greens to be very slow. Nearly every putt has some break to it, so reading the proper line is even more critical.
This was the 4-ball scramble format, popular for such events. If you're not familiar, each player tees off and then the best ball is selected for the position of where the next shot is played from. Continue until you hole out, then repeat. I like these formats, because for one they're generally low stress. The idea is to have fun. I also like it, because when you can get one shot "safe" it allows the other players to have some chance at "going for it" and trying something different.
As for my personal game, I definately had more drives I was happy with today than Saturday. That part of the new swing changes worked well for me in this round. The interesting thing today though, was that I wasn't as happy with some of my iron play. On Par 3's I did reasonably well, but many of my other approach shots I wasn't happy with. Not sure what the deal is, but I'll work on it and move on.
One thing that certainly came into focus today was the fact that for whatever reason, I tend to line up right of the target when I entirely believe I am lined up square. I don't know what to make of that other than I know I can't see it myself. *sigh* A high priority item to work on.
Overall we ended up with a 66, 6 under par. Not the worst, but not a winner either.
A good day today, nice weather but for a touch of rain. All for a good cause, so everyone's a winner.
