I played before.
Cool. I should have played before too. Once it started I couldn't leave. How'd you hit 'em? |

Not real well, but it was fun. First time this year on our regular course.

I played before, down in SD. Started out birdie-birdie  then reality set in and I finished w/an 80  . Which is really not too bad for me but it was a crazy round. I shot 40 on the front while only hitting one green, but I was getting up and down from everywhere. Got up and down 5 times on the front and was -2 on those 5 holes. Crazy game. Hit 6 greens on the back (and missed another one by a foot or so) and still shot 40. I give up. |

Off to Maplewood on what should be a PERFECT PacNW Sunday: Dreary and foggy until about 10, when the sun should break through...

Hope the weather is much better for you today than what we played in yesterday. High of 48 with 15-20 mph steady winds and gusts op to 35. Brutal. |

sweet! Have a great round. I'm playing today in a skins tourney with Mac and a buddy from work. Should be a good time. Different kind of game No holding back, go for broke, birdie everthing. Won't matter if I make 5 or 12. Go low or go home. |

Sun came out a little earlier than I expected, but it was a seriously perfect day. I played fairly well, but the local version of 'Amen Corner' (10, 11 and 12) got me a couple of doubles, and even the normally benign 13th and 14th weren't particularly good to me.
OTOH, I finished par-bogey-par-par, so that was nice.

Finally get to play Here today. The place I live. Palm Valley Country Club. It is private and you have to be a member or be invited by one. Has not happened. Very exclusive and snooty. Reeks of Bushwood.
I'm at the pool yesterday talking with this nice couple from Vancouver that I had met before. Big drinkers, he smokes, we get along famously. The conversation turns to golf and their round yesterday. He then asks what I think of the course. "Never played it."
Blah, blah short story long....
"Well *feces*. You're playing with us tomorrow. That's just all there is to it."
Thanks. I'll see you at noon.
Judge Smails: Very good! I know how hard it is for young people today and I want to help. Just ask my grandson, Spaulding. He and I are regular pals. Are you my pal..."Mr. Scholarship Winner"?
Danny: Yes, sir! I'm your pal!
Judge Smails: How about a Fresca?

I made par on the number one handicap hole on the course. "And that's all I got to say about that." |

So how did the Havercamps play? They played well. Very nice people, lot of fun, didn't take themselves or the game too seriously, but at the same time know the game really well, all the rules, etiquette, pace of play, etc. They just like to get out and play. Tough to calculate what they actually shot. She was automatic right down the middle with decent length all day long. Struggled with putting, but then also just chose not to play a bunch of holes. Funny thing is, I only saw her miss one fairway but was way more interested in just fishing balls out of the ponds. The guy probably shot around 100, but again tough to tell with re-hitting shots and a few duffs here and there. All in all he knows his game and plays within himself. I suffered from never seeing the course before. Even with their help and guidance it was a tough track first time around. After playing it once, if I were to play it again I would play it completely differently. 2 drives through the fairway into the water where I should have hit 4 wood, 2 4 wood shots woefully short that I should have hit driver on, par 3 that plays downhill and 2 clubs shorter than it looks, play left here, cut that corner, don't hit that house, etc., etc. Every hole is a dogleg. Including the par 3's. I will say this. This joint has the truest rolling greens I've putted on since being here. I shot 91. 6 pars, 2 triples, 3 doubles. Nice. Did they invite you back Stroh. Oh, yeah. |

Headed out to get my ass handed to me by a couple of ringers.
Macavoy and his buddy. Both single digit cappers.
Gorgeous ass day. Supposed to be 100.
I will play them straight up. Let the chips fall where they may. *fudge* 'em I ain't skeered.
Like I always say: "Don't want to / tired of losing? Play better golf."
Will report back.
