Tournament #2 Short game and Mental game struggles

Timacuan Golf and Country Club

Timacuan is a very challenging course visually. There is a lot to look at off the tee and a lot of trouble left and right. Most of the holes you are hitting out of a chute and have little room to miss it. However there are a few holes where you can just grip it and rip it. Very interesting golf course to say the least. The first course that we played there greens were not over-seeded and had dormant bermuda grass and this course had been over-seeded. This definitely plays tricks on your eyes and makes it tough to adapt the lines you must play and over-reading and under-reading putts an issue. Needless to say I need to play more Florida golf and get used to the conditions. 

I am wearing all black with orange shoes in the video. 

The Second tournament I played in was a bit of a struggle. I hit plenty of good shots to shoot a good score and did not capitalize on anything. I had 6 looks at birdie from inside of 12 feet and only made one. That is a not a good way to capitalize on good shots. There were a few miscues in the round and some doubt over shots. Those bad thoughts led to some bad swings and a few bogeys. 

One of the biggest things I am struggling with closing a round. The previous tournament I finished bogey, birdie, and then another bogey. This round I finished bogey bogey. Can't seem to get it in the club house. Have to stay in the moment a little bit better and keep the focus until the final putt is hit. 

I did at least cash once again and finish in 4th place. I have a lot of learning to do and a lot of growing in the game to do. It is going to be tough to get to the next level and get over this barrier of not breaking 70. Good days need to be 65 and bad days need to be 72. Looks like we will be hitting the Faldo institute once again on Friday for some much needed tuning and hard work. Have to work on trajectory control and staying more on top of the ball. The swing is getting close just have to keep working at it.
