8-1

Another day, another match, another victory. We, the Cerritos JV Golf team, beat Gahr’s JV at Cerritos Ironwood to improve to 8-1 on the season. I played bogey golf all day long as I finished with a 9 over par 38. My 38 was the best score of my team and the best of the match. Last three matches, I have been on a roll. Shot a 47 at Los Amigos vs. Downey back on March 24th vs. Downey, 3rd best on team. Yesterday, a 50 which was second best and today, number 1.

For the par 3 short holes, I did not hit the green on any of my 1st shots. I kept hooking the ball right. I had the distance but it kept veering off to the right at the end. So for those holes, I had to chip on and settle for a bogey 4 . My putting was relatively ok. I 3 putted one hole. On hole 6, I hit the ball to the right side of the green on the rough. Chipped and it was at edge of green on the longer grass side. I then putted and holed it, settling for a par. That was my highlight and my only par of the day. Another highlight were my drives. On hole 2, I drove the ball over 200 yards down the middle onto the fairway.  That felt great being able to drive that far. Hole 4, it hooked to the right at tail end but I was ok, just under the tree. 

It feels good getting the best score today. Now, my goal is the maintain and improve on what I’m doing. Chipping is still costing me some strokes. That’s the part I’ll have to work on to lower my score. We’ll have more matches as coach mentioned about having additional matches. Consistency is the key down the stretch now.
