So I played golf on Saturday, and boy, was I LPGA-inspired after that Thursday’s outing to watch the LPGA tournament at KLGCC! I thought I would have lost my muscle memory and swing after laying off for ten days, but nope, I did okay.
The ball striking with my irons was so beautiful – the sound and the trajectory of the ball flight. And my putting, gosh, it was beyond good. The decision to use my Peanut Putter instead of the TaylorMade Spider Mini was wise after my last disastrous game with my Scotty Cameron putter. There were no three-putts, and I recorded 15 putts on the front nine. Nice.
However, good as it was, it did not last when we crossed over. The pace suddenly slowed, and we had to wait at every hole. Then the sun came out, and hunger got to me, and I could not focus.
I then just went through the motions mindlessly to complete the round quickly. Oh well. In my opinion, a good nine outing is always more comforting and encouraging than a mediocre round of 18 holes.
I take comfort that after watching the LPGA players in action, it did wonders for my approach and mental strength. I hope I can retain this each time I play golf. Watch and learn, play, and excel!
