Kennedy Golf Course in Denver is quite a nice course. For those of you who haven't played it, they have three regulation sets of 9 holes that they mix and match throughout the week so that the various players that come to play regularly get as unique of an experience as possible every time they are there.
This time around, I played on the East Course (called Bett Lind I think) and the Cherry Creek Course.
All in all, things were quite good, again. I still love my Burner Irons and driver. The only real trouble that I had came with my 3 wood. It is a new burner 3 wood that I am still trying to get used to. It has a very light shaft which I am trying to find control of. I hit a couple decent shots with it, but also lost a lot to the right.
My irons are still making good contact, but I'm just slightly off with them as far as my aim goes. That is just something I have work on as much as I can over time, it'll come.
I shot 45 on both the front and the back 9, for an even 90 on a par 71. About average for me right now.
I felt like I probably could have shot in the 80s, but my chipping and pitching were far below average. That is a little weird for me, actually, as chipping and pitching is usually one of my strong points. I just kept catching things heavy coming through, which made the ball go nowhere near as far as I wanted.
I putted quite well, with only two 3-putts all day long, which is very nice.
I only lost one ball all day. Part of that is that Kennedy really doesn't play towards a lot of water hazards, and those that do are in the direction that I do not lose my shots, so I was pretty good to go on that.
The only one I did lose was on the last hole. One of the guys I was playing with convinced me to try and shoot over the small water hazard that ran really close to my driving distance. We both agreed that I should be able to get over it, and I hit a great drive but didn't see it come down and couldn't find it on the other side.
I hope to hit Kennedy again this summer and possibly do better, find my handle on that 3 wood, and bring my average down into the 80s.
So far, I've been out 3 times this year. I've shot an 82, a 93, and a 90. Not too bad, and I am feeling good about playing more golf this summer.
