I went out yesterday for a sunset round after work with no expectations and no pressure. Since there was a foursome in front of me as I took to the first hole, I decided to play the two golf balls in my pocket: a Bridgestone Tour and Pro V1X, and gather two scores at the same time.The first hole was rough because I didn't head to the range to warm up and as a result my drives were...awful, and I took a beating. After a deep sigh and a moment's relaxation, I dropped the second pair onto the smooth carpet and started playing better.
Finally, on the eighth, I noticed a nice scorecard was under construction. Not thinking too much about it, I finished up as the sun touched the rim of the horizon and added up my scores in the gloaming. This is the uncorrected version - the 40 is actually a 39, and I fixed it before entering them, but breaking 80 with my "new" swing has happened.
Now it is time to make it happen again. And after that, nearly every time I hit the links.
Golf is an easy games some day. I bet a throw a 95 out this afternoon now that expectations will creep in once again.
Didja post both nine-hole scores, big boy??
ReplyDeleteAnd check fast, because they will disappear from your scoring record almost immediately...
Any ball preference? Distance? Playability?
Did I post both scores? You betcha. As soon as I got to the clubhouse...but I of course posted the correct scores. Hey, I want my handicap to go down, ASAP, because when I went through the swing changes over the winter, it zoomed up because I had far less repeatability and the playing conditions were far tougher.
ReplyDeleteBall preference? I decided I like the Pro V1's feel. It's reliable to me.
Distance? About the same.
Playability? Pro V1 gets the slightest nod, because I like its feel off of the putter face.
