For the first round of the Forest Lake 2 day event I shot a 79. I was putting pretty poorly and made 4 bogeys from the fairway. It was a long day with an excruciating round that lasted all of 5 hours. Brutal. I had an early start the next day and birdied one and seven and eagled 8 to go two under through nine holes. Unable to continue the progress, I shot 38 on the back and finished at level par.

For those of you who keep up with current happenings with my game you should know that I dropped the “claw” for the remainder of my time down here. The stroke is too smooth for these greens which are thick and roll an 8 at best. I putted with a conventional grip my second round and I think it makes for a better marriage on these greens.

The 79 was bad, but my games feels generally good and I should stay positive through these next events. I will have four events over the next five days.
