367135

Best score of my life (so far). Was hitting the ball so so solid. Missed the first green then proceeded to split every fairway and hit every green until 10. Had 3 missed birdie putts under 8 feet on the front, and was 10 paces off the 9th green in two but couldn’t get up and down for birdie. The back was a similar story, finally made a couple of putts and really only had one bad swing all day leading to my only bogey. I came to the last two holes (the hardest on the course) needs pars and managed to do it: on 17 I made a 7 foot par putt and 18 hit a bunker shot to 18inches for the tap in par. 71!
