Classic Club
Palm Desert, California
Par 72 7,305 yards
My Scores: 79 71 76, 226
This was probably the hardest course we have played yet, and the wind was blowing pretty good for the first half of the first round, but besides that I just hit some bad drives that cost me some bad scores. I played six holes over par for the tournament, and played the other 12 even or under so as you can see I wasn't too far from playing well. The six holes that got me were all because of my drives. I drove the ball pretty well for the tournament, but for some reason my ball always found the water on these holes no matter what I tried. This course had a ton of trouble on it and it demanded some good drives that unfortunately I just didn't produce. My game is tightening up a lot, but still just a few steps from where I need to be to compete every tournament. I have improved every tournament thus far which is really nice though, and I'm planning on continuing that next weekend with some good play down in Saint George. I finshed T-43 out of 92, so for the first time I finished in the top half of the field. The most important thing I learned in this tournament though, was how to make my bad holes into bogeys and not doubles. I made 3 doubles the first round, but rebounded nicely when I was put in the same situations. Also, I had my first under par round in college golf!!!
