That third hole really kicked off well. I couldn't really see the ball drop in the hole but people were clapping and it was getting louder as the ball was getting closer

I'm a little disappointed because I misread two short putts that I should have made - 15th and 17th. I just misread it, I didn't read it high enough, but oh well, what can I do, more practice
