Long Putt for Birdie

Today I remembered something I had forgotten; regardless of what your score is your round can change with one swing.

On the 12th hole, a 160 yard par three, I was on in regulation, but 25 feet away.  As you can see from my line in the dew, I made the putt and my first birdie of the day.  I followed that up with another birdie and a chip in eagle on the 18th hole.

The mental aspect of golf is often talked about, however it is never really discussed.  My mental state changed after my first birdie and as you can see really paid off.  Being physically strong is important.  I would suggest that the mental part of the game is just as important.

Although my birdie changed my round, the shot of the day was m 30 yard chip in on 18.  By the way, I fixed 25 ball marks today.  I am a grateful golfer!
