Duke University Golf Course
My work golf league began last night. My team (Bo & I) won our matches 6-3 and 5.5-3.5 and we won the over all for a 14.5-6.5 over all win. We played the back nine and it was very nice out 75 with little or no wind.
I was inconsistent to say the least 10-6-3-8-9-3-7-5-5 on a par 4-5-3-4-5-3-4-4-4. On the first hole 349 yards par 4 I hit my drive off the toe, 2 trees and the cart path to the middle of the 18th fairway which is in bounds but not where I wanted to be. the next shot was should have been back to my fairway through a 30 yard gap in the trees lining the fairways. I managed to hit a tree and drop in the pine straw next to the cart path. I then hit it out into the fairway and I was lying three 115 yards from the green not good but in line for a double bogey at worst. I proceeded to hit my 9 Iron 25 yards further then I ever hit it and ended up 30 yards down a hill behind the green. I chipped it up the hill over the green back in front of the 18th tee behind another tree which I hit on the return shot from there I was able to get on the green and two put for a 10.
I was off to a good start. Hole two 514 yards par 5 I hit a nice drive down the right side of the fairway to about 270 from the green. I hit my fairway wood to 70 yards on the left side of the fairway and put my lob wedge on the back of the green then three putts later I had a bogey.
Hole three 130 yard par 3 over water. I was on the green 15 feet behind the pin and two putted. Life is good. I am thinking I have finally learned this game. I can recover from a bad hole which is a good thing since I had to do it almost every other hole.
Hole four 332 yard par 4. I hit my first drive into the creek and lost it. I hit my second drive right down the middle of the fairway and follow it up with a wedge to the back of the green and proceed to 4 putt for an 8.
Hole five 467 yard par 5. I hit my drive to the left and I am in the edge of the woods but I have a shot so I hit it out about 30 feet. I am 275 yards from the green on the left side and I think if I hit this prefect I can get to the green so I proceed to hit 6 inches behind the ball and roll it 45 feet. I lye 3 and I am still short of the other 3 drives in the group. I hit a nice fairway wood to 120 yards from the green hit my 9 Iron 2 feet short of the green and it rolls into the trap. I chip out and three putt for a nine.
Hole six 154 yard Par 3. I hit a 5 Iron to the hill on the left of the green and it rolls back to 12 feet from the pin and I 2 putt for a par.
Hole seven 354 yard par 4 dog leg right at 150 marker. I hit nice drive to across the fairway at 170 yards from the green. I duffed my 5 wood about 60 yards across the fairway, chunk a wegde and then hit to the back of the green. I am 7 feet of the green with everything sloping away from me. I chipped about 3 feet and it rolled 15 feet past the pin I putted twice back for a 7.
The next two holes are the 1 and 2 handicap holes on the back nine so I am thinking this may not be a good way to end the round.
Hole eight 396 yards par 4. I hit a prefect drive 225 down the middle of the fairway. I am 170 from the front of the green so I hit a fairway wood to the 6 inches of the green 15 feet from the pin. I the putted from there for a 5.
Hole nine 404 yards par 4. I hit a good drive 190 yards down the left side of the fairway. I topped my fairway wood to 130 from the green on the left side. where I hit my 8 Iron to 10 feet behind the pin and 2 putt for another 5.
I ended up with 2 pars, 3 bogeys and 4 others. my goal is for those others to be double bogeys not a triple, 2 quads and one hole 6 over par.
