The weather was cold but sunny walking to the first tee was chilly. On the first we had the wind against but my tee was ok just a bit short of the fairway. I was steady to the right of the green and then 3 put. not a great start but not terrible either.
For the first time every I got onto the fairway on the 2nd. I also got over the water to the right of the green on the 3rd (using 4r) so things are improving! (On the 3rd I had taken a preliminary mulligan as I worried that my ball was lost, and hit a pw, then duffed one into the lake. Luckily my first was fine!)
The 6th I got onto the green in 3, nice! On the 7th I hit a decent tee shot to just short of the fairway and then followed the fairway to the hole. At the end of the day I just messed up a bit on the 1st and 9th ending with a 9. Its still my best score here and I beat R for a change. My score is here.
The thing I had forgotten was that with a short back swing and a short stick I need to put some effort in. I can't just expect the ball to go far by its self. Half way round I remembered this and hit some better tee shots that I had done for a few weeks. (Its all about confidence!) This is especially true now that the ground is not dry so my chip and run's don't run very far.
