The weather finally broke. I know it's still hot, but it's a good 10 degrees warmer than it has been. It was actually cool enough that I would have walked today, but my knee won't let me. I've got a Dr.'s appt Thursday and hope to find out the extent of my knee injury then. So, I thought I'd better not push it today. I played Shawnee GC today for round 36 of the year. I scored pretty well, but didn't play well the front nine. I thought I played better and hit much better shots on the back nine. Although, my 39 - 39 = 78 wouldn't suggest that. But, the par at Shawnee is 34 - 36, so I was 5 over on the front and only 3 over on the back. Also, I saved a lot holes that I hit bad shots by making a very good shot, or making a putt.
I tried a different putter on the front nine. I bought it at a yard sale Saturday for $2 and thought I'd try it out. I really like the feel of it. The only problem is it's about 2 and half inches shorter than the putter I've been using. So, I have to bend over a little more and it's a little awkward feeling. I went back to my old putter for the back nine. I really like my old putter. I've been using it for quite a few years now, and I bought it at a yard sale for $1.50. The new yard sale putter is really nice. Just too short. I don't think I want to go to the trouble of re-gripping and extending the shaft when I like my old putter. But, a shorter person out there who'd like to try out this great putter, it's available. Listening OJ?
My goal of nothing higher than bogey was blown on the very first hole. I had a double bogey 7 on the par 5 first hole. That took the pressure off! But, I did accomplish another goal. I didn't three putt today. So, with a double on the first hole, and a bogey on the 2nd hole, finishing with a 39 was pretty satisfying.
