Played yesterday in cold and damp. Stocking cap weather. CPO and the course was a soggy mess. Packed wet sand. I hadn’t played in 5 weeks and most of us hadn’t played in a few weeks at least.
I shot 84 with 4 really bad holes. Sand shots sailing over the greens into bad spots, and the same for flop shots. Lot of woulda coulda shoulda in my decision making. I should have known better but I specifically practiced sand and flops before the round, and did great on both of them. Why even practice?
9 GIR, 32 putts. Kinda humorous stroke averages:
Par 3s: 3.50
par 4s: 5.10
Par 5s: 4.75
Looking at the app today, I see the course got an overnight PCC adjustment of +2 for yesterday. (From the USGA black box algorithm.) That means yesterdays scores were pretty bad on average. It really means we played a much tougher course and/or conditions than usual. So my 84 effectively became an 82 for handicap purposes.
Our foursome sucked the least and we were the big winners.
