Journey To Scratch: Rain, Rain And More Rain…

This week was another rough one on the weather front. After a somewhat dry Sunday round, the saturated front yard has once again left me with a week of indoor putting practice. With a few more days of wet in the forecast, it’s hard to be excited about getting out for another round. Of course, there is a chance, depending on what App you look at, that we may get some sun on Sunday, which just might give me a chance to sneak out. Not only would that make a nice stress break, but also be a nice bit of exercise for the day.

I’m still reveling in my last round of 76 and loving how well everything played during it. Virtually everything I hit under a 5 iron was spot on (except that horrible 8 iron from the bunker on 14) which leaves me feeling very confident going into the next go round. From there, I should be able to tell what I need to work on for my next few rounds. I will definitely be bringing up the loft on the driver at least a degree for the wetter weather we’ve been experiencing, or maybe just switching to the 10.5 with the Aldila Rogue for the next round. The control on the 9 degree with the Fujikura Speeder in it, but it just wasn’t driving the ball high enough to really get much on them. Maybe since I have an extra slot in the bag, I’ll pull both for the next round just to get them rolling.
