The old saying, “You drive for show and putt for dough,” is definitely the adage of the week for us as we finished up the Senior-Junior Championship on Friday, Jan. 25.
After the first two rounds, we needed to make up some ground to have a nice finish for the first tournament of the year for us. We started out the third round tied for 37th and slipped back some after posting a 2-under-par 70 for the third round. We hit the ball so much better than 2-under, so it was really frustrating.
As a team in the third round, we hit 17 greens and only made two birdies. It was like every time the ball looked like it was going in, it stopped just short or broke just out of the hole.
