Skybrook Round 1
Today was the first round of the Tarheel Tour event at Skybrook. I had a lot of trouble getting comfortable with my busted up right toe and got off to a filthy start…4 over after the first three holes. I brought it back despite awkward ball striking (again, because of the toe) and finished at even par 72.
Had my injury felt like this last weekend, I would have withdrawn from this event as well. It felt better in practice over the weekend, but I guess my practice didn’t involve as much time on my feet or walking around. I have about two weeks without an event after this week, so plenty of time for it to heal up.
I did have a few highlights in today’s round. I reached both the 8th and 18th holes - both 555 yard par 5’s - with driver, 3-iron. I eagled 8 and birdied 18. All four shots were about the best I could hit. The three iron on 18 flew 220 yards uphill.
