Soooooo.
I guess I got the dust off the old clubs tournament wise for the spring semester. This past weekend we competed in a tournament at our home course. I was pumped. I was hiting the ball great, I was ready to kick ass and take names.
Day 1: I stepped up to #1 and hit a slight fade. No biggie. Then I hit a solid five iron right at the pin and the wind picked up. And it held my ball in the air and pushed it to the right, right into the bunker infront of the elevated green. "Okay Brit, no biggie, you're practically in here 50% of the time anyways." So I hit it onto the green, and I don't make my up and down putt so I bogie.
Blah blah blah....a bunch of bad shit happens because I'm so fucking nervous and can't get out of my own way mentally because it's my first tournament of the spring season and my teammates were already into their second tournament and I was so freakin' uptight.
Morgan helped me out alot. No surprise there. Ever greatful, she helped me hit the ball straight as soon as I finally saw her....ON THE SIXTH HOLE. : ) Thanks for letting me slap it around like a fool for so long, Morgan.
I left Day 1 with a super sore back with spasms pain. Welcome back to tournament golf. We spent 6 hours on the course.
Day two: I was hitting the ball 100x's better. Had more confidence, was swinging easier with better results off the club face. I was hitting greens more than I had the first day. I felt alot better. Except for the putting. Usually I leave everything short and for some reason, maybe adrenaline, I was putting them past the hole 4 feet. That's freakin' hard to make for par. Golly, what an idiot I was.
End up shooting the same score as day 1 even though I felt I played better. I was so angry. Sure, we played in 40 degree weather with winds and I was windburnt as hell, but that didn't stop a select few girls from going low...why could I have?
Tomorrow, it's back to the putting green. I gotta figure this shit out. Anyone in the market for a YES! putter? Cuz I'm screamin' NO at mine and will be happy to get rid of it.
