                    Quick Round Soehnstetten



I played a quick evening round at the Soehnstetten  course.   The
weather  was great: 20C, no wind. The round took me only about 50
minutes, between some holes I was even running.

In my hand I had three discs: D P3, JB Zone, and S Valk.

The holes:

1) Zone backhand anny, too short and too right, landed under  the
trees.  The  window  was  too  small,  I  hit the first twigs and
dropped right down. Missed the 10m putt. Made the 5m  comebacker.
-> 4

2) Zone forehand, good drive. Made the 7m putt! -> 2

3) Valk backhand, left as always ;-) , but far enough to have  an
eays layup. Drop-in. -> 3

4) Valk backhand, decent drive. 20m or so jump  putt,  without  a
chance to go in. 4m putt. -> 3

5) Valk backhand, good and far drive (which was easy as there was
no wind on the hole today). Zone approach. 4m putt. -> 3

6) Zone forehand, good power but a bit high, thus landing  right.
14m missputt. 6m comebacker. -> 3

7) Zone backhand, okay, a bit short but placed well. P3 layup. 4m
putt. -> 3

8) Valk backhand. 12m missputt. 2m putt. -> 3

9) With the new mando! I was a bit rushed on the drive. Mainly  I
did  not  give  it any anny angle. Valk backhand, landing left at
hole 8's pin. Zone backhand hyzer approach, which  was  not  good
enough.  9m missputt (on the elevated pin). 3m comebacker. -> 4

10) Valk backhand, too left, landing in the hillside  and  short.
Good approach. 6m putt. -> 3

11) Zone forehand, too left. (The right side of the pin  is  much
more open.) From 6m I had no putt, unless a straddle out forehand
line. This I tried and hit the band. Drop-in. -> 3

12) Zone backhand, a bit short but otherwise okay. Missed the  9m
putt. 3m comebacker. -> 3

13) Valk backhand, unfortunately left  and  short.  Approach.  8m
missputt. 3m putt. -> 4

14) Valk backhand, landing right in the lift track. Awkward foot-
ing but a safe run at the basket from 12m. I missed, then dropped
it in. -> 3

15) This time a Valk forehand ... and  how wonderful it flew!  3m
putt for birdie! :-) -> 2

16) Valk  backhand,  landing  short.  Long  jump  putt  approach,
without a real chance of making it. 3m putt. -> 3

17) From the new tee location. Zone  backhand,  stallout  fade-in
shot, placed next to the pin. :-) 3m putt. -> 2

18) Zone backhand, landing right behind the first  trees  on  the
right. I had an open look ... and sank it from 12m! :-) -> 2


With three birdies on the last  four  holes,  it  became  a  good
round,  scoring at -1 (=53). The beginning and the end were good.
In the middle section I missed to many easy holes (8, 11, 12).

With the new tee on #17, the course has become one stroke easier.
I've never birdied the old #17, and it was unlikely to do so, un-
less with a lucky long putt. The new #17 is an easy  birdie  now,
at  least a hole which I will hardly bogey, unless in strong west
wind.


My putting felt very good. That was a key to success today.

Putts made:
- DI: 3
- 2m: 1
- 3m: 6
- 4m: 3
- 5m: 1
- 6m: 2
- 7m: 1
- 12m: 1

Putts missed:
- 6m FH: 1
- 8m: 1
- 9m: 2
- 10m: 1
- 12m: 2
- 14m: 1

What made it good putting is that I made anything from 7m and in!
Missing  only  putts  between  8m and 14m. (Bad putting is when I
miss 5m putts.)


Except for the ``too much hyzer, leaking left'' problem with  the
Valkyrie  drives  in  the  middle section of the round, my drives
were good. No reason to complain.


Overall it was a good evening round.
