Well… that was a bit of a rollercoaster 🎢
First competition back after a few months off, and my first ever event in the USA, playing the Orlando Championship at Rio Pinar Country Club on the Florida Professional Golf Tour. Excited, nervous, rusty… pretty much the full set.
Shot a 79 (+7) and if I’m being totally honest, it could have been a lot worse. The shoulder is still only about 50% and there’s plenty of pain there, so swinging freely just isn’t happening yet. Long game was pretty appalling by my standards and I definitely didn’t hole anywhere near as many putts as I’d expect to.
That said, it was a really good experience on a tight, tricky golf course that doesn’t give you much for free. Currently sitting T24 and still a chance to improve with how bunched the leaderboard is.
Another 18 holes tomorrow… let’s see what we can scramble out of it 👊⛳️
