I dropped a ball beside the green and played away. This is what I wrote down:<\/p>\n<p>1. 56 from front center to pin in front middle. OK <br \/>2. Flop from left side to a tight pin too short. Work on this shot. <br \/>3. PW from the fringe beside the right side bunker to a back pin. OK <br \/>4. Bump off a left side bank with one more club than the distance would indicate. <br \/>5. 60 from the right side to a pin at bottom of slope. OK <br \/>6. 56 from left side to back pin. OK <br \/>7. Another flop too short from left side to front pin. <br \/>8. 8 from 6 yds in front to back pin OK <br \/>9. 52 from front hillside. OK  <\/p>\n<p>Now this might not mean much to you, and but that\u2019s all right. They\u2019re notes to myself which I can use next time, because I made diagram of each green in a flip notebook. All this information is now marked down on the digram of each green, along with notations made from previous rounds.
