The Lexington GC Club Championship was off and running today with good weather and a field of 41 golfers. Weather and course conditions were prime for scoring: no wind and soft greens due to thunderstorms the night before. The only challenge was staying hydrated and keeping nourished with high heat (high 80s). Oh yeah, that mental thing too is always a challenge...just do your thing and let if fly!
Round 1 Leaders:
Kurt Flionis 70 (-1)
Rob Lynch 72 (+1)
Bob Green 72 (+1)
Dan Brennan 72 (+1)
Steve Tunney 72 (+1)
My keys to success in Round 1 was great putting, focus on the process, and patience. Pre-round routine was solid with Verstegen stretching, Zen putting techniques, and course tough practice shots.
I played with Steve Keegan, Steve Geldart, and Steve Jackson. It was literally me and the 'Steves'.
Memorable moments for me were birdie on 1, recovery shot on 10 from the 4th tee box (i took it over the trees with a 9 iron to back fringe, two putted for par), and long birdie putt on number 4. My wedge game was as good as its been a while; hit it tight on 13 and 15. Trust, trust, trust.
Its great to compete. Its been since April for me. The usual fellow competitors and friends were playing. The strange part was that I didn't get to see many of them because my group was last off.
Tomorrow we go first at 7:08am.
Course Conditions were good. Greens were rolling, but not nearly as fast as prior years.
Thanks Dad! Great teamwork.
Good luck to everyone tomorrow
