Autopsy: June 6, 2026
Felt like a typical Saturday, waking up early, excited to play, but things still not right mentally. I was up at 4am today, a little better than 3am yesterday. I played decent, and feel like I have made a lot of improvements, and I am close to taking the next step on the journey to 5.0.
Handicap: 8.9
Lack of Focus Moves
I still cannot stay completely focused for every shot, and then small lapses are costing me vaulable strokes.
- On Hole #3, I had a great drive, but playing to avoid the green side bunker right, I pushed it into the tall rough left and had to take a drop, resulting in a bogey.
- #7 Par three, that had been pushed up to about 100 yards for tee box repair, they moved them back into position, making all shot water carry shots. It was 133 and my 9 iron went right and into the water. Result double bogey
- #14 I had a great drive, and dead shanked an iron on the approach. I one hand chipped from 40+ yards leaving a 12 foot putt for par and missed it.
Scared Little Bitch Moves:
- I had 37 putts today in my round of 79. I left at least 4 putts shorts, making it very easy to see this is costing me strokes.
Boss Moves
- Opening Drive, down the missed, 233, followed by a 9 iron to 4 feet and I made the birdie on the first which is very rare for me.
- Even though I had 37 putts, and left many short, at least 3 died in the hole, to salvage scores on the holes.
- Hole #5 was moved back to 140 yards today, and it hit it pin high just off the green and had a two putt par.
