Trevor's Golf Blog

 Played a practice round on Friday and the boy did much better than the last couple of weeks.   No question he plays much better on good courses.   Today he had three shit holes that did him in (+10 on those holes) but went +4 on the other 15.   Crazy.   Finished with an 86.   So much better than the last couple of weeks on those shitty courses. Lauren and Doug came out to watch the front nine.

 This was certainly a self fulfilling prophexy.   The kid hates the course (as do I), he sucked at the practice round on Monday, and sucked again today.   Four OB shots and a water ball did him in for a nasty 96.   Crappy hard pan was all over and Trevor found it again and again.   What a complete pile of shit course.   Despite it all, he had a few amazing drives an incredible 220 yard approach shot with a 3 wood into a massive headwind, and one of the best rescue shots I've ever seen - chipping from a bush 30 yards out, over a hill, that settled onto the green with a perfect touch.

 Well the boy's goal today was to break par and win the tournament.   He came up a bit short on the first one, going 1 over, but he did eke out a one stroke victory.   One birdie and two bogeys.   Only issues were two missed greens on #7 and #9.   Went 6/9 GIR otherwise.   Putting was average.   Being pissed off aftering going 1 over says a lot about your game.   

 Very good progress in all areas.
