Hope the weather is great and you let go and let GOD control what you cannot. That way, your focus on what you can do will be 100% as will your peace and enjoyment! If you do hit a "bad" shot, let it go, remember what Hogan said about only hitting a few perfect shots a round! You will hit many great shots, I believe! I'm confident you'll enjoy the fun of such a great experience!

City,
I am sometimes wondering if one of us is looking for a behavior management aide.
It is G.O.L.F. and my friends which feel that sweet momentum and all manifestations of that power and precision.

Ted's completed 36 holes and is in at 80-77=157 (+13 / 86th). Jeff's first round of even par 72 (T13) is in the books, and he tees off at 1:10 PM today for Round 2.
Jeff Hull today shot 70 (-2) and is solo 7th. He's already had his 'bad' round -- even par! -- and is always a threat to go low. The leader has yet to encounter his 'rough patch' and now shoulders the pressure of the lead (-9).
In tomorrow's final round, seven shots can evaporate in a hurry.
A. Receive a $2.5 million dollar home, tax free and you have to putt slow, grainy greens for the rest of your life.
B. Sit on a porcupine, and you get to putt fast bent grass for the rest of your life.
C. Receive a free 2011 Bassmaster fishing boat, and you never get to play golf again.
I think the answer is obvious...
I choose B!
Seriously (which is difficult for me), Jeff played extremely well. Way to go Jeff! I thought the greens were impossible. I don't have anything in the bag for slow bermuda. I’d have to take a putting lesson from Jeff to keep from shooting 1000.
How anyone was able to putt those greens I haven't a clue. I borrowed a putter from Jeff for the next two rounds, and I was still terrible. I couldn't stand over a three footer and think that I could hit the hole. My 1 degree Bettinardi with grooves on the face made my ball look like a bowling ball rolling through hot tar. I lost interest quickly, having my putting handcuffed.
Last year, on the same course, I had 24 putts and shot 70. I have no idea how many feet faster they were rolling last year. When we returned later in the year to finish the rained-out tournament, I putted just as poorly on the over-seed. This year, I shoot 80, hitting 12 greens and playing with the same ball the entire time, with 37 putts. I have no idea how many decades ago I had 37 putts. Having 24 putts again would only be a 67. I'm still in shock.
