2 day tourney in Orlando, 20 guys in my flight (12-16 handicaps) Finished Day 1 in 2nd place with a solid 81, but leader was on fire with a 77, so lots of work to do. Unfortunately for him, the first two holes today were not kind to him and we were in a 3 way tie by the 3rd hole. Through 8 holes, I had fallen 3 strokes behind the other guy. I hit a fairly poor drive, leaving myself 175 yards out, down in a rough valley to an uphill green where I could only see the top of the flag. I absolutely pured a 5h and could see it was immediately on line and never left it, but it didn’t even occur to me that I could get it close. When we approached the green and didn’t see it I assumed it had rolled through…. Nope! This is now the third time I’ve holed out from 165-175 yards, but I still don’t have my hole in one Other guy cards a bogie, so we finished the front all tied up with 40s. I didn’t play great on back, but good enough to get two more strokes ahead of second place with my 85.
