Provisional and big smile?
Yeah. It'd be much bigger if I could get rid of those doubles and the 3 putt, but I'm happy with an 82.
The first double was just a bad call clubwise. Should have just punched something out toward the green (4i or Hypersteel), but figured I'd be able to knock an 8i down underneath the limbs. Caught the ball on the hanging branches and it bounced out in the fairway and backward a little.
The 2nd was a very bad swing with a 4i that I just got lucky when it did not go out of bounds.
The 3rd was created on the tee box with the worst drive of the day.
All in all, only a handful (or less) of really bad shots on the day. For the most part, I putted well. I was all around the hole with my first putts, too, on the ones I two putted.
It'll happen. Just gotta keep at it. I made a change on the range on Thursday. I widened my stance about a 1/2 width of my foot or maybe a full width. I think it has quieted my hips down and seems to be helping my tee shots. I'll give it some time, but I honestly think it's gonna be good.
