Warmer today - which is helping my drives go farther, but not straighter - ran into a couple of double bogeys - putting continues to be good, just need to eliminate hopping on the bogey train and hitting more GIR.

Always can play better but what a fun round. The score was not indicative of how I felt I played.

Had a nice 328 yarder, to bad i only par’d from 100 out

One of my favorite courses around and has 4 of my top 5 favorite par 3’s around, this one is a 180 carry over water, beautiful hole

this is the second shot coming into a the first par 5, gorgeous hole

My consistent play continued today even with less than stellar conditions.  We're one week into our first aeration and course received five inches of rain yesterday (meaning cart path only, standing water and water filled traps).  Given all that, I was extremely happy with breaking 80 with a 79.

I hit all but one fairway today.  The best thing was that when I missed (by about three feet), it was on the correct side of the dog leg left which gave me a clear shot to the green.  If I was going to miss, I missed in the right position.  The 17% greens in regulation could have been twice that, as I missed three by a matter of a few feet.  

The six up and down pars was a good day.  What makes me a little disappointed was the 30 putts.  That's about five or six more than my average.  I was constantly short given the greens now have exposed aeration holes and have not been mowed for a week.  About halfway through the round I finally figured out that I had to have a more upward putter swing to put more top spin and keep the ball on top of the grass/sand.  After that, I had better distance control.  However, I was still victimized by the exposed aeration holes.  I know it's a short-term issue that will get better in a few weeks (which is just in time for aeration session two)!

Soso round and started having some shoulder pain halfway thru the back 9.  Driver was consistent and irons were a little wonky today. Chipping and putting saved the day over and over again.  Most likely this will be the only round this week if the shoulder pain continues.

Herndon is a short, score-able course, even for s*** golfers like me. 

I played some really excellent golf (for me) on the front, closing with a birdie to shoot a personal-best 39. My back 9 started out really poorly, forgetting how to hit my driver resulting in two triples and a double over the first four holes, en route to a 47. Still, I ended up with my lowest-ever round. 

Then I came back down to earth on Tuesday morning with a 96 on my home course. Gotta love this stupid game.

My best round of the year. I had 3 birdies including a chip in for birdie on #18. I had quite of few lip outs too. My driving could have been a little better. I had a draw with my drives starting out. I usually play with a fade.

All over the place again today. Thought my 89 two weeks ago was a sign that my summer game was here (wrong). The 3 pars saved me!!  I do love the first tee time of the morning 6:00 it is so peaceful and BEAUTIFUL! threesome played in 2:45.
