Cameron started the summer golf season with Indiana Junior golf tournaments back to back these past two days. The first was at Meadowvalley Golf Club where he participated in sectionals last week. Cameron bested his score this time by two strokes, and overall felt that his round was a lot better than last Friday's. For the first four holes he was even par and beating the leader by one stroke. The 5th and 6th holes gave him some trouble or he could have scored even lower. He enjoyed the golfer that he was paired with and finished the match in a very respectable 4th place.
Today's match was at Maple Crest in Goshen. He had played there in the past, but not this season. He knew that the greens would be a lot faster than what he was used to and arrived early to practice putt. One big positive about today's round was that the course was definitely shorter than Meadowvalley. Cameron played very well through the first thirteen holes finding himself only eight over stepping onto the fourteenth tee. The last five holes proved a challenge for him with a ball in the water, a three put and a drive clipping a tree. In the end he finished with an 85 which he was unhappy about, but was still good enough to put him in fourth place again today. We talked a lot about his round on the way home and in the end he felt better about his play. For me it was nice to listen to him talk about some of the fine tuning he wanted to do to his game rather than trying to pump him up about how great a 92 was. He's definitely made progress this year in his golf game and has lowered the range of his scores. With a lesson to come on Sunday, I know that it will just keep getting better from here.
