I was hoping it would be 70 lol
Confessions of a hacker would be a better title..( I hate my life)
Well I have to leave for out of town this week. By the time I get
home, both virtual opens will be history.
Try as I might..my 70 at Oakmont is only good for 297th place.
and my 68 at The Open only netted me a 326th place seed.
Both of course will be pushed back as better scores are posted.
I salute the players that make the cut as indeed you are the best in
the world.
My confession, I was delusional in thinking that I should be a top
100 player.
Oakmont is a work for me in progress as I learn where to go for it,
and when to be very conservative. So much so that some par 4's like #9
are like 15 at Beth Page...lay it up short of the green..lob one just
past the hole and watch it roll back.
Other greens demand similar treatment..getting pars on those 4-5
holes at Oakmont becomes paramount. There are also 4-5 birdie holes. I
think my biggest problem is playing enough break when putting, and not
really having all 18 holes down to a science.
Even when I do figure out a hole, my old man hand eye coordination
lets me down.
So ill tuck my 700 credited rounds between my legs and work towards
the goal of making those cuts next year.
Saint Andrews just drives me nuts trying to make those quick 10 thru
15 footers.
Moral victory! I am among the top 300 players in WGT lmao
