State #25: New York

Excelsior

The birdie I achieve in New York was at non other than Bethpage Black. What an amazing day. The weather man missed on the forecast, so I had the course to myself until the 12th hole. On the par 5 9th hole, I accidentally took an aggressive line over the rough and was reward with a nice position. The rest of the hole was into the wind. I hit a solid 5 wood straight down the middle leaving me about 60 yards out. I hit a nice low flighted lob wedge that sat down just over 5 feet left of the flag. I made the putt! Getting birdie at one of the toughest tests of golf just felt amazing.
