Golf Round (Not Interesting, Trust Me)

By popular demand, here is the shot-by-shot account of my golf round today. Waveland Golf Course, Blue Tees, 6:30 pm tee time:

1) Hooked my drive into the 18th fairway. Had about 200 left to the green with a downhill lie. I hit a 4 iron but it knicked the tree I was trying to play over. I had 60 yards left in the fairway for my third. Hit a half sand wedge into the wind to a back pin to 3 feet. Made the putt for par.

2) Hit a 9 iron to about 15 feet from about 155yds to a front pin with a slight tailwind. Made the downhill putt for birdie.

3) Hit a 4 iron off the tee to keep out of the trees. It was about 15 yards short of the fairway. Overdrew my next shot, 6-iron, into the creek that runs to the right of the fairway. Dropped for my third. Fourth shot was a 4 iron into the wind from about 190, just over the green. Fifth shot was a flop shot to about 8 feet. Made the putt for bogie.

4) Pushed my 3 wood tee shot slightly so the ball did not take the slope down to the flat level. I had 155 to the pin, and hit an 8 iron to about 6 feet. Missed the putt, tapped in for par. I still don't know how the putt broke up the hill for the last foot.

5) Pushed my drive into the right rough, but still only 85 yards away or so. Overhanging tree limbs caused me to play a low shot. I hit a half PW just short of the green. Hit a poor chip for my fourth and had 15 feet or so for par. Missed the putt, but made the tap-in for bogie.

6) Hit my drive down the left side to about 85 yards away from the green. Hit a sand wedge to the back pin a bit too long and it ended on the back fringe about 20 feet away from the hole. Two-putted for my par.

7) Hit an awful drive on the short par five, blocking it into the right rough. Shaped a 6 iron left to right for my second to about 70 yards away. Hit a sand wedge to about 15 feet to the front pin. Left the putt short. Tapped in for par.

8) Hit a 5 iron from 185 to the left side of the green, but the pin was on the right. 3-putted from about 60 feet for bogie.

9) Hit my 3 wood down the right side, but it stopped on a severe sideslope about 140 yards from the green. I hit a real easy 7 iron to the back pin, just to keep my balance on the shot and keep from overswinging. The shot ended up about 25 feet short of the pin. Hit a weak first putt, leaving it 6 feet short up the steep slope. Made the 6 footer for my par.

So the final score was 2 over par, 38.
