Go Geoff!

Keeping an eye on the PGA tour website. Hoping that Geoff Ogilvy
notches up a win to start off the season with his new Titleist sticks.

One behind sabatini who is currently 10 under for the day... Crazy!

One of those days ...

... where I struck the ball great (most of the time) all day, and I scored on every hole (stableford). I had a bunch of 3's on my scorecard and yet I ended up with only 36 points. It's one of those games you have where it fells like you played much better than you scored. To make matters worse, the course CCR was 71 - so I actually played one worse than my handicap. 

I hit 11 out of 14 fairways (78%) so there was nothing wrong with my driving. My GIR was probably about 50-60%. 

So how would you rather play - scoring worse than you played or scoring better than you played?

My preference is to score worse than you played. I might walk off the course confused about my score, but that's better than walking off frustrated with a shonky golf swing .... imo :)

Stroke play stress.

Stroke play is such a different beast to stableford or any other type
of comp. It can get quite stressful when every single shot counts.

Normally it doesn't bother me too much but I was especially nervous
today. I had just gone down a shot in my handicap to 13 and was
feeling like I had to play one shot better than last week to contend
again.

It went fairly well for the first 5 holes but then I shot a triple
bogey. And that just did my head in for the front nine. Another triple
on the back and my energy was gone. I felt tired and couldn't wait to
finish the round.

Oh well, my handicap should go up by one so that gives me an extra
buffer for next week. :)
