Broke 100 three times(almost broke 90 on second one) 

played the most golf I had in a season

Dropped my handicap from ~30 to 22 thanks to Arccos, Adam Young, the planemate, the divot board and some hard work.

Got to play with @twyatt700 and @Kenny B on separate occasions 

 

Thanks for reminding me!!  It was memorable... it really was!!  It's just that memories are fleeting at my age!!  Now I have to edit my post.  😂

Great year for me. Even with a complete washout in july still was able to play 25 rounds (full 18) of July didn’t rain (literally rained every day) would have easily gotten 30-35 rounds by now.

Played several rounds with my 9 year old.

Set by PB and matched it to boot

I'm just happy to report that I am still alive. 

A lot of you have tried to end my career but have failed. My tough exterior, swimming lessons, and time with my shrink are paying off.

Thank you all for a fun season so far.

Swimming lessons wearing a life preserver don't count.

Been a pretty good golfing year. Got selected for the Callaway Epic driver test as my first, which was an amazing experience, thanks again MSG.

I broke 80 a number of time this year, with a low of 75.

Got yo play with @B.Boston and @Lacassemup in NH for the first time, and hope to again next year. 

Played the most golf in a long time and played some of the best golf ever

Season is just about over so here is to 2022

I'm still taking the lessons to prepare for next season. Dam instructor keeps telling me to kick my feet and use my arms. That SOB must be freakin blind. I was thinking he would teach me to skip across the water better. It's a work in progress. But I'm keeping the life vests. I know they work!

Sounds like they want you to cook with Crisco. Right @ole gray?

Been an interesting year.

I'm looking to hit a high point on rounds played during the year.  I looked back at my numbers, I've crawled past 60 rounds played a couple times in the last half dozen years, which I think is pretty good for a guy still working full time in Minnesota.  This year, I'm already pushing up against 70.

My wife retired this year, having hit the magical 59-1/2 age that allows penalty-free 401k access.  Apparently, with me working from home and here therefore seeing more of me, this has allowed a bit more golf for yours truly.  I've normally played Friday and either Saturday or Sunday, but this year, all three days has been a bit more frequent.  She's even told me I need to do this the last month or more, because the season is dwindling, I have to get my golf in.

I love my wife.  🤩

Joined my course's Saturday Men's Club, after years of being badgered by friends and acquaintances who were members.  I didn't win any events, but placed a few time, doing moderately well in chits (shop credit).  And, I was a member of the winning team in the Club's Ryder Cup event, winning 2.5 of 3 possible points.

We also welcomes a second granddaughter, born on 7/7, exactly 7 days before her sister's second birthday.  With all those sevens in play, I've been trying to convince our son and daughter in law to play the lottery, but they've yet to buy a ticket to my knowledge.

Finally, I've reaffirmed my ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.  I've threatened to bump up against my personal best (73) a couple times, only to do something completely stupid and fall apart in the last few holes.  Even my season best of 75 had some of this.  What can I say?  It's a skill.

Season not yet over.  A last Men's Club doubles event this saturday, and the Blizzard Open team event takes place on Oct 24.
