Played in my league night yesterday, and every part of my game was going well except the putting, which was absolutely horrid. I hit (or nearly hit) almost every green in regulation, yet I shot five over for the nine holes. I three-putted all three par-3s, and both par-5s. I missed a three-foot birdie putt on a par 4. I could have been at even par if the putter had been working anywhere near its capabilities. Yet there I was at five over. We still won our match, but it was somewhat frustrating playing so well otherwise, and having one part of my game just completely fall apart.
Since I didn't say anything about last week's round, I'll just mention my one good hole. Par 5, I hit a decent drive, but after we tee off a dust storm rolls in and we're playing straight into it. I'm 240 out for my second shot, into a strong wind and a bit uphill. I hit an absolutely perfect 2-iron that stays low with a bit of a draw, and it ends up about three feet from the pin. Made my putt for eagle. :-D
