My first round went well and I was pleased.  While I would have loved to break 100, I thought 101 was decent especially considering Eagles Nest is a tough course.  I was happy with my drives and irons but what I need to know is what exactly worked well.  In have a bunch of lessons under my belt which is good, I just got great new equipment which is amazing and I started using a ball (look for it in my next post) to help maximize distance for someone with a slower swing speed.  Obviously all of this helps but I wonder which is helping the most.  I have a lesson Thursday with Jon so I will bring it up then. What wasn’t working: Putting and Chipping.  I had no real touch around the greens and didn’t make many putts.  Chipping was touch because I never had a sand wedge before so trying to learn how to use it during a round wasn’t a great idea.  I usually left the ball 20 ft short.  Putting was the usual story…hit it and hope for the best. The good news is that Jon wants to start working on short game the next few lessons so we’ll see what happens in these areas.
