I finally broke 80 on this course. I really don’t understand it. I’ve shot in the 70s on much tougher courses than this one. Maybe it is just an unforgiving course. It is that. I shot 78 even with a triple bogey. And it was a stupid one, the kind I hate. Our #6 has OB on the right, and it is easy to avoid. But I wanted to cut the corner…just a little. And I hit my 1-iron instead of the driver. Yesterday I put my drive right in front of the green, and expected to do the same today. Instead, I hit the ball of the toe and ended up OB. I hit my third into the fairway bunker, left the approach short, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Fortunately I had enough birdies to accomodate the seven.
I keep forgetting to add a link under golf stuff to the site maintained by one of my playing partners. It’s there, now. Dave sits in the front pew of the First Church of Flog. I’m the new guy, so I bat fourth. We meet for services each Sunday morning at O-Dark-Thirty, and are always the first out. Gilbert plays a yellow ball, and when we can see it off the tee, there’s enough light to play. Herman rounds out the foursome.
Anyway, Dave’s site is mostly about the trials and tribulations of an average golfer, whatever that is. He also has some photos of his trip to Thailand and the courses he played while there. He and his wife are building a house there and will move back when he’s ready to retire.
