• Shot 105. Course was the hardest course I have played in a really long time. Pin placements were in difficult spots (plus I could putt well at all). Fairways and rough were in poor shape. Irons were off all day. However, I was driving the ball alright and my wedges were on fire! It was really windy (over 22mph all day) and I definitely could have lowered my score a lot if the putter was working. Need to practice a lot more pressure putts and putts within 6 feet with a lot of brake.

• Marble Falls Invitational
• 2/5/21 to 2/6/21
• 4th school tournament of 2020-21 season. Shot 87 (front nine 39, back nine 48) at Hidden Falls. 50 (on 9) on Lakecliff. At Lakecliff, bunker game caused a lot of issues. Drive was off as well. First 9 hole score in the 30s ever! Everything was pretty good, had a couple drives that went a little too far right, putter was on, wedges were decent, and irons were great at Hidden Falls! Need to do work on the wedges a little at range.

• Score: 90 (5th of 16 girls). Course played really long (probably around 6100 or 6200). Irons were working perfectly, driver accuracy was good, distance could have been better, lag putting was great but had a few missed opportunities up close to the pin, wedges needed some work.

• 8/4/21 to 8/5/21
• This tournament was an Invitational, the top 7 girls from the Austin metro got invited (I finished ranked 5th). Day one was good, scored 83 from 5700 yards. Felt physically off on day two, but decided to play anyways and take more risky shots than I would normally play (ones I never play or get the chance to practice). Ended up with 94 on day two.

• Not the best day. Shot 90 from a little under 6000 yards. That course was tough too! My long distance wedge game was probably the best part of my game that day, as well as bunker game as I got up and down from both bunkers I hit in to.

• Day 1 at Lighthouse: 89 Day 2 at Hidden Falls: 82 for 171 total. Got 2nd place. Lighthouse was in really bad shape as the fairways and greens were hard and rocky. My long game was good for the conditions, but my short game wasn't great. Hidden Falls was in great shape and my short game was working pretty well. Long irons could have been slightly better, but this round was good for a tough course!
