More issues with my second round. At times today I hit it horrible and it looked like I would shoot 78, but then other times I hit it great and had several chances for birdies. I only made 2 birdies and that was not enough. I chipped in for one of my birdies and the other birdie came on the easiest hole on the course - a short par-5.
I'm glad we have an off week next week. I'm not as mentally sharp as I'd like to be. That explains why part of my round is ugly to watch. I believe a little break will help me find a tight focus in the next tournament.

Winter Series #6 - First Round
Before I get to this week's tournament, I've got some catching up to do. I haven't had access to the internet and that's why I've failed to update my blog. Since my last post, I've put some new irons into my bag and it has taken some time to develop confidence with these irons. I was so comfortable and so confident with my old set that try anything new would take a few weeks. In case you're wondering, I switched because my old irons were extremely overused and beginning to look beat up. Also, I will have to switch in the near future because of the new groove rules.
Two weeks ago, I returned to competitive action and I failed to make the cut, shooting 147. During that tournament I made a double eagle on my 15th hole (#6) of the second round. That was my first double eagle, but the second one I have witnessed. The other one was witnessed 90 minutes before mine. Charlie Beljan had a double eagle on his 9th hole of the day (#18) and we were paired together. I'm not positive, but somebody told us the odds of 2 double eagle's on the same day - in the same group - is somewhere around 1/68,000,000.
Last week, I had an ok first round, but things fell apart on day 2. Missed the cut by 4 shots.
This week, I began with a 1-under par 71. Looking at my results from the past month, my first round isn't the issue. Tomorrow's round - round 2 - has been the problem. I play early and I hope to have much better results than the past month.
