Good start, good finish

Did well on what might have been my last golf outing this year. On the first, I was to the right of the green on my approach. Last week, Ron has told me that he used his 3 iron around the green in some situations rather than a wedge. I have a couple of underused 2 irons in my bag, so I took on of them out, and hit the ball. It went pretty fast, but hit the stick and went straight down into the hole. Routine par.

On 9, Shy has won the previous 3 par 3s, and has again put his shot on. I take out my 7 wood, which I know is the right club for me for that hole, and smack the ball. It's right at the green, and lies about 15-20 feet away from the pin.

I get up there, and the line to the cup is pretty good. The 9th green has a pretty steep back to front grade, so it can be challenging. I'm a little high of the hole, but the line looks like it's only a little right to left. I figure I just want to touch it, so it doesn't go way past the hole. I lightly tap it aiming to the right of the hole and it goes right in. Birdie!

Overall, it was a 46, which is just about my best ever, and another round in the 40s, which was my goal for the day.

My golf game's improved quite a bit this year. I think I've shaved 2 to 3 strokes off my average for 9 holes.
