Sunday Sundowner at Birch Hill

I was just going to hit some balls on the driving range but the course was wide open so I went and played 9 holes. Met a nice older couple, Bill and Mary.
My opening tee shot landed just short and right of the green.

I hit a great 6I shot on a slope just past the green on the 5th hole but I missed my par when I started trying some bump n run with my AW!
I had a great 256 yard drive on the 4th fairway with my driver but I mis-hit an easy pitching shot that would have giving me a birdie opportunity on the green!

Sun filtering through the trees on the 5th fairway.

I hit another straight shot with my driver on the 5th fairway. My ball was just past the 100 yard red stake (using my rangefinder, I estimated my drive went 218 yards).

My 7I tee shot landed on the top right slope just off the green, unfortunately I blew my par opportunity when I 3 putted after my chip shot went too far!


It was a nice round of golf, eventhough I didn't par a single hole, I shot 6 stroke less (and putted 4 less) than my Friday score. It was a nice 12% improvement!
