joen Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 15 hours ago, Kenny B said: I've been talking about it all year... it was my goal for this year!! After yesterday's round of 85 that was probably my worst ball striking round in recent memory, I didn't think it would happen today. I started the front nine pretty well; always a good sign, but so often hopes are dashed. Par, Par, Bogey, Par Par. Then on the par 5 #6, I hit a poor drive but it ended up in the fairway just short of a bunker... Lucky! 2nd shot was a good 3H that put me in a 9i range of a back left pin; hit it pin high right. My birdie putt was 10 feet slightly downhill with 2 foot break, most coming in the last couple of feet. Pars on #7 and #8 On the par 5 #9... good drive; 3H short of the pond, a SW to 6 feet and putt made for my second birdie. Front nine score 36... one under par!!! After a Par, Bogey start on the back nine, I birdied the par 3 #12 with a 15 footer. A good drive and decent 2nd shot on the par 5 #13 left me with a 9i to a back pin over a bunker; almost carried the sand, but fell back in the bunker... up and down sandy Par. Scrambled for a Par on #14, then Bogeyed #15. Pars on #16 and #17. I wasn't keeping score; my wife was. I thought I needed just a bogey to shoot my age. All I needed to do on this par 5 #18... my nemesis hole was hit the middle of the fairway like I have most of the day . Nope!! Hit the middle of the left bunker instead. There really is no shot to advance the ball very far since the hole doglegs left with a large tree at the corner; going through the dogleg is in the bunker that runs all the way to the green on the right and pond beyond that. I decided to hit a 9i to the dogleg... flushed it!!! In the next bunker. 3rd shot... same 9i just to get the ball back in play in the fairway. 4th shot was a PW over the green into the rough. 5th shot on the green and 2-putt for a Double Bogey!! I thought I had missed shooting my age by one shot. BUT... Back nine score 38... 3 over par. 36 + 38 = 74 Oh, By The Way (my doctor doesn't like Oh BTWs; you know, go in to see him for one thing and while I'm there... Oh BTW! ) Along with my 3 birdies, my wife had 2 birdies, and the couple we play with also had a birdie each... 7 birdies!! Vanilla Rum shots for everyone but me; I had 7 shots of Wild Turkey Honey Sting!! Thanks again @fozcycle!! Now I need a new goal for the second half of 2021. Well done sir! Now go do it again! M.
