August 23 - M. Murph and I teammed up for the 18 hole best ball competition with our eyes on the gross prize. At the end of the day, we won both the gross and net prize! (only awarded the gross) We shot a bogey free 6-under 65 (net 63). Both of us played 1 under on our individual ball. Murph played great, with the most memorable shots being a chip on #4 from off the back edge to a back pin to save par and then stiffed his approach from 160 on 18, into the wind to a front red flag.
We birdied #2, #5, #6, #7, #16, and #18. No birdies on 8-15 was disappointing, especially the par-5s. That aside, it was one of our best rounds together in recent memory. Playing partners were a pleasure to be with (T. Keebaugh and guest Jake).
The weather was excellent, low 70s and sunny. Course conditions were below average, the greens running slower than usual and a little bumpy.
My swing is on a positive run, most notably my tempo and "effortless" repetitive feel I picked up from watching the US Amateur in Brookline last week. A still lower body is the most common trait I see everytime I watch the pros play.
Don't have to swing as hard as you think to hit a good shot,
Kurt
