Well 2nd week of back tees in the league, armed with new Callaway Driver.
As the title says money well spent. Excuse the pun but great bang for the buck!
1st tee pulled it dead left to #9 fairway but cracked it 238, for this senior that is a big drive distance wise.
Then proceeded to crack a 3 wood back to just right of green and chip and putt for par.
So all in all 2nd week from back tees carded 42 in league play and 84 overall. 2 three putts( 1 was a lip out and 1 caught old ball mark and jumped right). One cost me a par as I was on in regulation and 1 a double. I felt was a good round, and had a blast! But that 42 on front had 3 doubles on it! Could have been a 39 with just turning those to bogies. Had 4 pars and 1 birdie on the par 5 that played 560.Thanks new driver & @Tom Saguto. Back 9 non-league shot another 42. Had 3 doubles on a par 35 back 9. 3 pars and birdied 18 another par 5 488. If I could had kept the doubles out today I would have broke 80 and from back tees! 31 putts total. Iron and approach shots coming on and chipping and putting going to next level.
Still being at the bottom of 1st flight going to make it tough. Have to play lights out to have a shot at net. In any event, I am pleased as heck as the back tees are not hurting as much as I thought and the acceleration power with driver and "bowflex" back has been huge today. Also on iron play directional was way more on target and feel very comfortable with 3/4 on iron and increasing acceleration. That seems to be the ticket for now till next step.
SO GLAD I FOUND THIS SCHOOL & SITE.
Having a blast and still a lot of room to improve even at this season of my golf life and a path there!
Everyone enjoy the end of summer weekend.
@Steven Wow! That’s awesome news about your league play! Back Tees that is something to really be proud of. Love reading the stuff you share! Keep it coming and keep it crispy!
Just an add on feel good for me. Got cashed out with a 3rd place finish in the net.
So confidence builder for sure, never hurts with the mental aspect of this game!
AWESOME, Steven!! Sounds like your game has really risen to the occasion of this move to the back tees Great job!!!
