@Mattyv made his no longer usual pilgrimage to SoCal, and I was able to join him and his son and a friend for a round before they headed back to the Oven State (AZ). Always great to play with you Matt! This makes 5 or 6 summers that I have gotten a round in with Matt, always a good time.
Coming off a 4 year worst score last time out, I had low expectations. We played Hidden Valley in Norco CA, which is a peril filled adventure through the hills. My driver has been a mess lately, so much that I picked up a new PXG Black Ops driver this week, and I brought extra balls.
And of course, my game was rock solid today. 10/14 FW, 13 greens. Only driver blemish was a pull on 18 into the gunk. Greens were shaggy and really slow as the course combats summer heat, and I couldn't get any putts over 10 feet to the hole. Ended up with a surprise 75.
MattyV won the chunk-off, I didn't have any chipping issues today. 😁
