No good today. 76, T8th. I'm having a hard time on the final rounds this year, something I'm not used to. My buddy Nick thinks it is the excellerated pace of play. All of my final rounds have been two-somes, riding, so it is an entirely diiferent pace than three-somes. I don't know if this is it, but maybe. I'm already a very quick player, and with just two I seem to play even quicker. I just play fast, but I need to keep an eye on it when I start to struggle. It can get out of hand in no time.

Two-somes walking (Canadian Tour format on the weekend) is an entirely different matter. Walking automatically slows down the pace, so the effect might not be as obvious.

Anyhow, I can't say for sure this is the problem, but it makes sense. I need to keep an eye out for things like this. I did slow down my swing on the back nine, with some marked improvement.

The great thing at this stage in my career is that I figure out something like this every week. It all goes in the memory bank, and it all pays off in some form at some point. I get closer every week, whether or not my scores are showing it. It makes for one great journey!

Week off now.
