Played at Bear Creek GC in Murietta CA today. Tough course, with wicked fast greens. A few of the greens have elephants buried underneath them making them very unfair. The last one has two elephants. The pin was placed in the valley between the two elephants, with a pretty good back to front slope. So, if you are left, right, or back, it is near impossible to two putt. Luckily, my 6 iron approach made the front of the green, with a decent 20 foot look at birdie. I played for a two foot break off the bottom of the right elephant. Made a good run, but should have played three feet off the elephant. Putt broke in front of the cup, went past the hole about 3-4 feet up the side of the left elephant, and rolled back down into the hole for a birdie. SWEET!
Over the last few months, been having problems with a back muscle - right side bottom of the rib cage. I usually make it 9-10 holes then it starts hurting. Today, it hurt after 4 holes. Really had to dial down and adjust the swing today. Been taking 50 swings a day with a weighted club for the last couple of weeks hoping to keep my back from hurting, did not help it today.
