Heartbreak Hole-Tell

Progress this week! BIG PROGRESS! On Thursday I hit my first ever 39 on the front 9 from the white tees! Only 4 strokes over par which was exciting, but I only played 9 so it wasn't THAT exciting since was always a chance the back 9 wouldn't go so well which brings me to Friday. It was hot and muggy and just an energy-sapping sort of day. I, however, started wonderfully and shot a 38 from the blue tees (only 3 over par) on the back 9 (hole 10 start on Fridays) to start which really made me realize just how much progress I've been making because theoretically if I were to replicate that on the second 9 I would have put together a 76, only 6 over par and well under my 80 goal all-the-while that much closer to my ultimate 70. Enter that energy-sapping weather I mentioned coupled with a complete lack of enough food to keep the gas tank full and you have a f-ing 50 on the next 9!  Certainly a disappointing 88 considering the start of the round, but lesson learned that as it gets hotter and hotter I am going to need to increase my food intake from only my typical hard-boiled egg in the morning, a sliced apple and 2 Toast Chee cracker packs because I was tapped after the front 9 and had a long way to go. Very upsetting because I really hoped it would be the day I dropped below 80, but no such luck yet. Next week I know it's going to happen to talk to you soon!
