As I approached my first competition of the season, after a winter of working on my swing, I could feel the nerves rising. I’ve been playing some of my best golf lately and I quietly hoped that would continue – rather than desert me – when I had a competition card in my hand.
After a shaky 4 over through 3 start, I went on to shoot my lowest competition score to date – a 6 over, 78 (39 points) – and cut my handicap from 7.3 to 6.7.
