Tom, Shot a 72 today!!!!! 10 GIRs. 27 putts. Two birdies. 7 birdie chances in total. Driver: solid. 11 out of 13 fairways. Scrambling: major day. 6 / 8. Had tap in’s on four of these. Putted well. Holed two 20 footers and a tough 7ft on 16 to keep the round at level par.

Things I tried today:  A 52 degree from 90 yards on 12. It was a red pin but left it 12 ft. to the right and made the putt. Thought a lot about: red, yellow and green flags. A lot of exhaling (vision54). Did not get ahead of myself as much as I usually do. Less tension. Missed 5 with a wedge (push) and 8 with a nine iron (line too aggressive). Skulled a wedge on 9 from overhanging lie.

A very positive round of golf. Thanks for all the advice!!! One of my major goals for the year was accomplished today. —Michael H.
