Plagued with swing challenges, I couldn't overcome Mike's birdie-birdie-birdie finish. He beat me 1-up. I shot 77. Derek hit a birdhouse. Mike shot under par on the back nine. I made one birdie on the par-5 2nd.
June 5: Kettle Brook GC in Paxton, MA with my Dad and my brother
Feeling in good rhythm from the 6th hole on, I shot 73 (1 under from the 6th hole to finish). My best shots continue to be when I'm comfortable with my alignment (actual shoulders, feet, arms, clubhead position as well as my own visual conviction), my takeaway is slow, and my tempo is smooth. I made 5 birdies and left a few out there, including a spectacular hybrid shot to 5 feet on the 235 yard (uphill) 17th. I'll be returning to Kettle Brook for the Worcester County Am in July. My Dad shot 78 and left many easy shots out there. His best shots were ones in rhythm and with good width in the backswing. Derek's hybrid club was consistent and he almost made a 90 foot putt (inches away).
Both days brought us 70s and sunny. Looking forward to more golf!
Kurt
