Had my best round tonight, I love this game today.
Played my weekly men's night, and got matched with another pair who we've golfed with once before and who are much better than us. (They shot 45 and 49)
It poured rain today and I really wasn't expecting much. The greens were slow and soft from the rain. Things didn't start out too well, but at least I was hitting my driver pretty straight, if not that far. (Taking 10-20% off my swing has helped me hit straight the last couple of weeks, so I'm driving 200ish, but hitting fairways).
The par on the fifth hole was awesome, especially because it was the hard way, my tee shot wasn't ideal and missed the fairway but my pitch was good onto the receptive greens and I one-putted. The next two holes were also good.
I managed to play out of the red staked areas when I found myself in them (3x) and fairly well too. I took my medicine when I found myself with an off fairway shot and didn't try any "hero" shots through the trees etc.
I walked away with a scorecard I was really happy with, feeling like breaking 100 is a possibly achievable goal this year, or early next year - and beating my regular golfing buddy by 5 strokes, who I've never scored better than.
I'll be surprised if I'm not in the money for net finish in my flight, but I really don't care either way, in my head I won tonight! We'll see what happens next game though.
TL;DR
Played my best game of the year and walked away loving this game, that'll probably change next game.
