Played an awesome and hard CC in San Diego (Del Mar CC). Really tremendous course, but trouble all over the place which is rare for SoCal.
It was one of those days where it felt like I was shooting mid-80s, but it added up to a 77 at the end somehow. Really poor ballstriking - kind of shocking as I was striping it at the range. By the end of the round, I couldn't make solid contact at all. Most of my drives ended up in the 220-230 range, about 20-30 yards shorter than normal. But the short game was rock solid. Even on the 3 holes were I had penalty strokes I was just +2 total. Stats didn't look to bad - 9/14 fairways, 10 greens, 29 putts. Maybe I was just jaded by going +4 on the last 5, it just seemed much worse than it really was.
I have a lot of swing work to do before MattyV hits town.
