Match number 2 of the season today. We played St. John Bosco at Los Amigos Golf Course, which is right next to a juvenile hall. We got to leave class at 1 for our match today which was pleasant. Anyways, we won 225-228 in another close thrilling match to improve to 2-0 on the season. This course is different from Lakewood for many reasons. The greens are a lot slower and sometimes, there are breaks that will prevent the ball from going where you want to go, while putting. Also, its a par 35 and a lot easier.
I shot a 53 today, a improvement from Monday. My putting was better as I 3-putted one hole and 4-putted one hole. I started out with a 8 on the par 5 hole 1 as my ball went into the trees. I tried playing from the tree and lost. Next time when I'm under trees, I'll punch the ball out into the fairway to give me a better shot. I parred the par 4 hole 4 as everything was perfect on that hole. In addition, I parred the par 5 hole 8 once as once again, everything was clicking and going well. But I had a double par on hole 4 that cost me strokes. I chipped my ball and it went next to the fence, resulting in a one stroke penalty to move it. Chipping wise, I improved a lot as MOST of my chips landed perfectly on the green. What really haunted me was the last hole, par 3 222 yards hole 9. My drive was absolutely perfect as it landed smack right on the green but I 4 putted. Just couldn't read the putt well enough.
But a win is a win and I'll take that. Biggest thing I have to work on is consistency and getting myself more familiarized with my new driver and hybrids.
Next Monday we match up against Mayfair. It's our first league match and in order to win league, we must win every league match, starting from Monday.
2-0 on the season now.
