The Season Begins
The season officially started today at the Tar Heel Tour event at Rivertowne CC in Mount Pleasant, SC. Rivertowne is a stern test and is in very good condition considering it is February. I shot an even par 72 which is three shots off the lead. Though I left a few shots out there, I am very happy with how I started. The quality of my putts was very good. I was making solid contact with good speed. This was the first opportunity that I had to put my putting changes under some pressure and I’m very happy with how they held up. My short game was similary good considering the changes I made in the off-season. I was happy with my long game as well. I dropped a few shots because my mental game and greens-reading skills are still a bit rusty from the off-season. These will recover very quickly.
