Recently, I played another golf tournament at Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore, CA.
It was definitely fun to play, tricky, and challenging. I started off very well, going bogey – birdie – birdie in my first three holes. After that, I got some pars until I three-putted the 8th hole (ugh). I parred the 9th to make the turn at even par.
I bogeyed the 10th and 11th holes, both because of poor tee shots, but came back with a great birdie on the 12th hole. On the 12th, I nailed a sand wedge from 80 yards to around five feet.
From then on, I sort of lost focus on my game; it was hard while my group was basically running between holes to catch up with the group ahead and some of the people in my group were playing badly, which was pretty distracting.
I bogeyed the 13th, 14th, and 17th holes en-route to a back-nine 40. Luckily my little digression from steady golf didn’t hurt me too badly, I finished with a 76 (+4).
Anyways, I ended up winning the tournament by a stroke. It was a fun day of golf, and the win was just icing on the cake.
