Gateway #4 - Palm Valley (round 2)

Boy it was an ugly round to watch - and to be playing. In round one I got away with bad shots because I missed them in easy spots. Completely different story in round 2. On a golf course that has 4 of the easiest par 5's you'll ever find, I bogied 2 of them. Both of them results of hitting my second shots into a greenside bunker and then failing to even hit the next shot onto the green.

Funny thing about the round was that on hole #2 (my 11th hole) I found yet another greenside bunker in two shots. After yelling at myself for hitting it there I knocked the bunker shot into the hole for an eagle. So the first 2 bunker shots I fail to get on the green, but the third I knock into the hole!

Gateway #4 - Wigwam Gold

One under par 71 today. Saved a lot of shots with my short game and was able to make some nice birdies on the back nine.

Best point of the day was on #14, the easiest hole on the course. I got too aggressive on my tee ball and pushed it into the water. I dropped and hit my 3rd shot to 130 yards. Then got up and down from 130 - by making a 25 foot putt - to save par. I went on to birdie the next two holes and it turned the entire round around.
