The Gateway Tour is back in Anthem this week, but we're playing their other golf course. I had a disappointing first round. I played well on the front nine, but failed to make a six foot birdie putt on #10. From there, I three putted #11, made a poor decision and hit my 3-wood into the water on #12. Finally on #16 I hit an awful approach shot that led to an impossible up and down.
On the last hole of the day (as the sun was setting) and I failed to get up and down from just right of the green. I missed a 4 foot birdie putt, but I made a good stroke.
Round 2 is Tuesday morning and I've got a bunch of ground to make up.

Anthem G&CC Final Round
I finished my tournament in Anthem with an ugly round - especially since I played the last 5 holes +4.
There's another tournament next week, but it begins on Monday.

Anthem G&CC Round 2
I played better today and the score reflected that. An early eagle (#3) got my round off to a quick start. The eagle was a complete surprise. I had 270 to the pin on my second shot and hit a hybrid, only hoping to end up short and right of the green. My shot rolled onto the front part of the green and I made a 60 foot putt for eagle. After that serendipitous eagle, I failed to make a 5 foot birdie putt on #4 and hit my drive into a hazard on #8. I missed a simple 8 foot birdie putt on #10, but hit a 4-iron to 5 feet on #11, and made the putt for my 2nd eagle of the day.
I finished with a 2-under 70 and made the cut on the number. I felt lucky that the cut stayed at 1-under. Throughout the round, I had a feeling the cut would go to 2-under and when I missed a 10 foot birdie putt on #17 and then parred #18, I left the course believing I had missed the cut by one shot.
Final round is Thursday morning. I tee off at 8:40 MST.
