We could have kept playing but we were a little wiped.
My driver was pretty on point until I lost momentum the last 3 or 4 holes. Then when I wasn't feeling like the driver I used my 3 iron hybrid. I don't really keep score any more but I was trending towards breaking 80. I had three birdies-- one of which I nearly holed out a wedge shot from about 80 yards and had an 8 inch tap in putt. My lower irons were pretty accurate and I had multiple reasonable birdie chances. Putting was a chore though......the greens were wildly fast and not much dropped for me. Felt like a 75/76 was attainable if my putting was better.
It was good to get out and get some holes in. Feels like some parts of my game are really dialed in to where I could be a little dangerous for my standards. It helps playing from the white tees on courses where the par 4's range from 350 to 410 yards. I think the biggest iron I used for approach shots was an 8 iron. Anyways, good times and can't wait to get out again.

Although I drive the ball 280+ without wind/slope; I’m moving to the back tees when I reliably shoot around par. I’m not at the level where I’m trying to make the game more challenging yet.
