At Ancil Hoffman Golf Course

Holly, Sharon and I played golf at Ancil Hoffman. We teed off at 2:28 pm. Sharon and Holly rode together, while I walked. It was nice; we got a chance to play as a threesome without a single. Van is out for a few weeks with an injured hand.

After a great session at the Haggin Driving range on Tuesday, I was pretty happy with how I played. Slowing down my swing has helped me to be much more consistent. The last four rounds I have been making much better contact. I am actually feeling like I am played golf.

Surprisingly, I had three 190 yard drives.

Chipping continues to be a problem. I am giving away too many strokes aournd the green with my chipping.

With a couple of mulligans and gallery losses, I had a liberally scored 55 on the front nine. I blew up and took a 10 on the par 5 2nd hole, but had a stretch where I bogeyed three out of four holes. I made a long putt to salvage a double bogey on the par five 7th. I had a legitimate birdie opportunity on the par five 10th hole from just off the green.

It is going to be interesting to see if I can build on my current progress. We are going to play a lot of golf over the next ten days...

After the round, Van joined Holly, Sharon and I for dinner at the River City Brewing Company at the Milagro Center. Sharon had a RCBC BREWER’S BURGER, while I had a VEGGIE PESTO FLATBREAD [BASIL PESTO, MOZZARELLA AND FETA CHEESES, ARTICHOKE HEARTS, RED ONIONS, SPINACH, RED PEPPERS, KALAMATA OLIVES AND SUMMER SQUASH].
