What a day! Played Pinehurst #2 today. Was looking forward to the round. Weather was around 46* when I got there. Warming up at the range started well, but then it seemed I couldn’t hit the ball straight at all. I quickly blamed the sunrise! For those of you who have been there, you’ll recall you hit into the sun in the early morning, it’s blinding!
Enough of this, headed to the 1st tee to meet my playing partners. Three guys from Connecticut. Played the White Tees. Some quick low lights then the highlights. Front nine I hit the driver well, but my 2nd shots all went everywhere! But somehow I was able to make a few pars getting up and down. Through the 1st five holes I was 2 over. 6th hole…disaster! Double! 4 over!
Then the streak started! It just came all together! Finished the last 3 holes on the front with a par and two birdies. 38! To make this long story shorter, on 10 I made my 3rd birdie in a row. A first for me! Finished the last 8 holes 1 over, had my 4th birdie on the par 3 15th. 36 on the back, overall a 74. This stat is crazy…I only had 23 putts for the day. Which translates to missing the greens but not by much!
Two Duce coins for my efforts!
