I played Desert Rose today in some windy, some what cooler weather. It was an early morning, walking round. Shot a really decent 80. I am not sure if I played well under these conditions, or if I just had better bad shots. Better bad shots? With 9 pars, and 9 bogies it is hard to tell. I didn't lose a single ball which is a good thing since there are peoples back yards on just about every hole. There are also water hazards of one form or another located on 13, or 14 holes. Only hit 6 or 7 greens in regulation, but had a few up, and downs. Missed quite a few fairways off the tee, but not by much. All my bad shots were either pushes, or pulls that like I said did not miss by much. No banana slices, or duck hooks. Most of my good shots came via my short game, with me and my putter pretty much on the same page.
All in all I would have to say it was a round of "better" bad shots instead of "more" good shots. So, the moral of this blog is to work on "better" bad shots to help your scoring.
