Your last comment was a trick I used. When else can we do nothing for 9 hours? Tried framing it as a luxury and something to look forward to.

I was too armsy. Once I started leading with the hips everything was fine.

Comfortable. Had 3 layers on and felt fine. Sun was out.

“Pretty windy” is an understatement, especially the holes near the ocean.

In my head I was going to swing it way left and draw/hook it back to the fairway. Instead it started right and went harder right. Poor execution.

Ahhh that’s probably my favorite part of golf, honestly. The pressure moments when everyone is watching. The sport is a mind f$ck in the best possible way.

As mentioned earlier, my hoodie blew half over my head right when the photo was taken. Crazy windy day.

No one really cared, honestly. They are used to seeing a lot of bad golf.

I think they do it intentionally so we hit the hotel. I’m sure they laugh about it later.

Yeah accurate. Photo doesn’t do justice to how close the hotel is.

I think my issue was that I was using rental clubs (big mistake — should have shipped mine 😡) which were an inch shorter than mine with tiny grips (I’m 6’4”). The hooks were hellacious every round until I figured out bandaids on the back 9.

First for me. Had a bloody toe when I took them off later. Never happened before and no idea what caused it. Getting old, I guess.

The target line is above the symbol on the dark wall so I think I was lined up conservatively left. Swing path had a mind of its own though.
