I lost my first match in the consolation round today, 4 & 2. Once again my opponent made a 40+ foot putt to win the match.
This match play has highlighted two things about my game. First, I am not good at making the makeable putts. Second, I am a slow starter. I kind of already knew that, but getting down immediately in my matches really drove it home. Once I got rolling I played real good. Too bad I was already 3 down, hahaha.
I practice before the round, so it’s mental. I guess I don’t trust my swing until I’ve played a couple of holes.
