This week we played at our home course. Normally you have an advantage when playing a home course but over the weekend they had changed the flag placements on the green to very challenging spots. I was struggling with my putting more than usual because of these flag placements. Another thing I was struggling with was my driving. Normally my drives go about 250 yards but this day I was chunking the ball so they went about 210 yards. I bogeyed 3 of the holes, made over bogey on 2 of them, and I also had one birdie. I ended up shooting a 52 which wasn’t bad and still one of my better scores but was still frustrated because I know I could have done better. I have found that golf is a very mental sport and you tend to be very inconsistent which can be really frustrating. We had our normal practices this week and I ended up winning a putting contest and got 20 dollars. I am proud of how far my putting has improved this season. In addition to the normal golf practice schedule I had a golf lesson on Saturday that went really well. I was hitting my irons really solid and felt confident about my upcoming tournament on monday. On Sunday I went to play 18 holes with my step dad and I was playing really badly. I kept chunking the ball and couldn't hit a drive to save my life. But little did I know that I would play the worst I have ever played so far in my high school career. I haven’t been weight training recently because It’s not good to lift weights before a golf match and we have had a golf match every week. I also don’t want to be sore when I play in matches. I hope I do well in my tournament next week because it will be my last chance to make states.
