Played at Camarillo Springs

Camarillo Springs - Started out a little shaky but after a several holes I finally found my swing from last year. Drives and irons began to have my typical straight solid ball flight. It was due to one poor shot where I realized I wasn't using my right side at all. I decided to put a little right hand into the next swing (which for me just means use more of the right side for power and control). Chipped and pitched very well also.

Last round I started using my lob wedge for most shots around the green and have had some success with it (instead of my 56 degree sandwedge). I still need work on putting. I feel like I can putt but most rounds the only putts I make are basically tap ins.

Today I only made one putt from 10 feet and I think another from 4 feet. Everything else was three feet or less, and I even missed a two footer somewhere in there. I must have missed 10 putts from the 4 to 10 feet range. That is where I need to go to improve my score. I am fairly happy with my long game and chipping at the moment. So tomorrow it is off to the putting green for an hour or so and then Friday I am going to attempt Moorpark Country Club again and see if I can shoot in the low 80's to redeem myself from that last round.

Oh yeah - I made TWO BIRDIES in a row today! That ties my birdie streak record from last year shot here and here

Notes: Awesome 5 iron from the center of the fairway to about 12 -15 feet for eagle. I took a picture of it from above the hole. I left the eagle putt about a foot short but on line - bummer since I've never had an eagle before. That does make two birds in a row though - which ties my birdie streak record!

Notes: Great drive, simple 7 iron the center of the green was the plan - but bladed some kind of low slice pin high to the right side of the green. Hit what I thought was a perfect pitch but when I walked up to the green it was short. Put a decent chip on it to about 4 feet and missed the putt.
