I went out last Saturday with my cousin and uncle. It was definitely a rough looking course (tree roots exposed on one green for example), but it's golf. Things went really well all day. My short game was on, my approach shots were good, but what really stuck out was my driving.
I had been hitting well all day, but the real bomb came on one of the late holes. It was marked as a 304 yard par 4 and the tees were all the way back. I turned one loose and over the hill it went (blind, slightly uphill tee shot). We went up looking for it and it was laying on the back fringe of the green at an estimated 308 yards. I ended up finishing the day with an 85.
My next foray into the exclusive 300 Club came at Mill Creek just this past weekend. We were on 15 which is a 310 yard par 4. There was a guy and his son on the green that were just putting out. I figured I had some room to spare and I went ahead a let it go. I saw it hit the ground and bounce a couple of times. I figured I was near the front edge of the green. Carl and I went on up and Carl hit his approach. As we walked up the guy on the green (still there putting and chipping around) said, "Nice drive, Tiger." It was laying about 15 yards left of the green and even with the back edge. Then I hit I nice one about 290-300 on 16 just down the right side.
Now let's see if I can put it all together for this weekend at the Mill Creek Championship tournament.
