Bogeys and birdies...that was the theme to my most recent event in Pinehurst on the Sunbelt Tour. I played well enough to finish 8th and cash a check with scores of 72-74-71. I made 12 birdies and had 13 bogeys...but there were several good things that happened. I putted well, making 8 putts over 15 feet for the 3 days including several in the 25-30 ft. range. I drove the ball well but my iron play was a little loose at times.

I play next in Myrtle Beach in early September. We have to get Ann Howell and Barrett moved in to college over the next week or so, so a little time off will be good. I need to practice over the next few weeks on my pitching and short irons, and then see some results at Tidewater and Long Bay!
