Farallones Open

Farallones is the 6th tournament in a row, and I can tell that I'm tired! I did not have a good week at all, my ball striking was non existent but I scrambled ok. First round I shot +3, -3 for a Even Par round. Second round was better, I was -1 thru 10 holes, when I got to the par 6 11th hole, yeah, a PAR 6, playing 710 yards. Really, is not a hard par 6, you can get there easy in 3, but it has a really narrow fairway. Anyway, I was 175 yds out, tried to punch a 7 iron and clunked it in the water hazard in front of the green, ending up with a bogey 7 (it felt like a double). My group got into an argument with a Marshall and I lost my focus, finishing with 3 bogeys in the last 4 holes to barely make the cut on the number!
The weekend was a disaster! I knew I wasn't hitting the ball well, but I was trying really hard to score, but my putter didn't want to cooperate. I think I missed around 15 putts from inside 7 feet, which I usually make.
My mind was out of it and I took 2 days off, completly off from golf. I went to the gym, I streched and I slept, that was pretty much it. I felt more relaxed today as I played the practice round for the Country Club Invitational, a Pro-Pro event that starts on Friday. I shot a nice 65 (-6) on the same course that I played the Challenge tour event in February, but obviously the set up is not nearly as hard. I will update this week!
