WDYSTM - June 2020

I had a 'result' round today, for a very pleasing 37 points. I get to ask the eternal question after todays round, and share a few stats.

The question is: would you prefer to hit the ball not so good but score well, or stripe it and not score so well?

I deadset chopped it early, and was lucky to only be two over after 5, and from there I had 11 pars and 2 bogeys, both from 3putts. I didn't strike the ball well most of the day apart from some good 3 woods late, but I had a magic short game going. 6 of 6 up and down success, and 2 of 2 sand saves. I was better from off the green than I was when on it.

The other thing to mention is how cold it was. I had to shake the dust off a jumper and wear it today. So much for the perfect winter climate we are supposed to enjoy.

Scoring well for me. Striping it and scoring badly means that the putting has gone bad, and that would do my head in.
