Took me a bit to write about this round. We played Pecan Valley two weeks ago but it's been pretty busy at work and I've had a lot of life stuff to sort out as well. I wanted to get my thoughts down on this round before we play again on Sunday though, so here we are.
The course is pretty great! A really fun layout and I think next time I'm going to walk the course instead. Especially if the weather holds up the way it has been in the last few weeks. Beautiful fall golf weather is here! The greens were okay, maybe a B-. They were extremely slow at first and sped up a ton on the back nine.
The round was great overall. Salman played EXTREMELY well considering this was his first round in over a year, and Soks continues to make progress with his game every time we go play. This year has been a nightmare. Staying indoors for months, working from home, transitioning to a new job, and dealing with this new way of living has been pretty taxing on everyone's mental health. I'm so glad we got back into golf which gives us an activity we can do together relatively safely and introduce a bit of normalcy back into our lives.
Key takeaways from my round from what I recall:
- Ball striking was super great. Hit tons of shots pure but again my accuracy needs improvement. Not mad at it though, because hitting good feeling shots is 99% of the reason why I play.
- Driving was great (on the range). Absolutely abysmal on the course. Still needs lots of work. Understandable because my driver is about 5 years behind the rest of my clubs.
- Wedge play was really really great. I didn't chunk or blade a single pitch or chip.
- Putting was... okay. I felt good about it for the most part but there were tons of putts I think I should've holed. Like the stroke was good, but this whole season I've been fighting hitting putts short and low.
Can't wait to play Sunday. The course we're going to looks really tough, so I might not have too many chances to hit driver, but hopefully we can hit as many flush shots as I did at Pecan Valley.
Oh, and despite being the cheaper of the two courses, I definitely like the Hills course better than the Rivers course. Yelp review incoming.
