A long way to go

Well, I shot a 56 yesterday. Lame. It would have been truly awful, except for a string of three bogies in the second half of the round (5,6, and 8). I had a handful of bad shots, but the big problem was a near total inability to putt.

The good news is that putting will come, and generally speaking I was striking the ball fairly well otherwise. Each year so far I've been able to lower my average by around half a stroke - if I can get the putting thing down I have a decent shot to get my 9-hole average down under 50 this season.
