Practice Time - Round 2!
by Pat Sheridan on 05/05/15
Another Saturday, another round of practice with fellow CT professional miniature golfer John O'Leary. With less than two weeks until the opening tee-off, it's important that we get in as many swings as possible. This time we played the course at the Litchfield Driving Range in Litchfield, CT. While the holes were not terribly long, John felt the carpeting was most similar to what we will see in North Carolina. It is a thicker carpet, with a nappier consistency compared to most miniature golf courses. It requires a little more firm putt and it doesn't seem like you can trust it as much as the more traditional carpeting. This means you have to put a lot of faith both in your read of the course and in the stroke of your putter.
I ended up shooting 42, 43, 38 and 39 with a scant 3 aces, but with a decent amount of looks at the hole. I'd grade my overall putting at a B+ for the day. Hoping to get one more round in somewhere before making the trek south!
