Overall Comments:

Best round of golf to date. Very good short game, kept putts and inside 150 to two for much of the front 9. Driver was very poor. Often in the woods or worse. In spite of this, I played well. The front 9 was very nice -- 42. One triple bogey, 1 double bogey, 2 bogeys, 5 par. Got the job done all sorts of ways -- one chip in for par, good recoveries from off the fairway, good chips and pitches with a one putt.

Even 10 was nice. Errant drive. Tried to get to the hole with a 7i. Caught the top of a tree with ball landing back in the adjacent fairway a little closer to the hole. Used the 8i to attempt the same shot -- and ended up within 2 feet of the pin for a tap in par.

The rest of the back nine was not too good. Driver performed badly -- all over the place and/or short. Was able to recover after a while. But not bad.

There is a glimmer of hope that I can produce a good round of golf. That front 9 indicates I can get the job done. May some it had to do with the pace of play. We were waiting on the people in front and the twosome that Doug and I were playing with were not particularly good. So lots of time to think about the shot, lots of time to rest prior to the shot.

Time will tell.
