Traditions 6-6-6 tournament this past Labor Day
It was a good day for golf and fun to play in this very exciting and eventful format. The format is a 6 hole . Best ball or 4-ball, 6 holes scramble. And a 6 hole modified alternate shot ( each player gets to drive and then select the best shot and play from there until the ball is holed)
My partner and i shot 69 gross, but did it in a funny way. We shot 2 under scramble. 2 under alternate shot, and finished with a 1 over Best ball. Obviously we can say we left a few shots out there but most people can say that after a round. I didnt hit my driver particularly well this day however hit a few good drives. However i hit some good iron shots and a few of them when we needed it. The 6 Iron out of the rough on 18 on the green. The 6 Iron out of the fairway bunker on 9 to hit it on the green. The 6 iron on 7 that hit the flagstick and left us a few inches away. Seems that i hit my 6 iron pretty well that day. Or hit it enough times that i hit a few good shots.
My partner and i had a great time and we played with some wonderful players and nice guys. It is always fun to play with group where you all get along and you all enjoy the time playing the game.
They shot 71 but had a few more strokes that’s we did and shot lower than we did net. How ever we shot low enough gross to get 2nd.
The best thing i can say about the day is i played with some great guys, had a fun time, and we shot well enough to place.
So the next tournament is the club championship and looks like i will have to be practicing to get in shape to play in that tournament to play.
