3/14, Diamond Woods!

Today, Diamond Woods in Monroe, all I can say is not my finest outing. I golfed with my brothers John and Mike, and we had Big Joe and my best friend Mike in the group in front.

Here are the totals for my round,

52 on the front
51 on the back
$2.00 paid to Mike
$2.00 paid to Big Joe
$5.25 to Brother Mike
$4.75 to John

Yeah, I sucked…but I did have some good drives and fairway woods. Where I paid the price was with my short game. I could not chip if my life depended on it, and my putting killed me! One time I was on for birdie and walked off with bogey, two times I was putting for par and walked off with a doubles…Yeah, I was that bad around the greens.

On the plus side, because daylight savings is now in effect, we are starting our Hack Fest Tuesday night ritual of 9 holes starting at 5 pm at Diamond Woods. Good times with my good friends!

For you book readers out there, I have started, and highly recommend “Embedded Balls” by Peter Jacobsen (with Jack Sheehan). It is an outstanding read with stories of both on and off the course. There is an outstanding chapter on Payne Stewart, and insight on his parting with Fluff as his caddie.

I will update this Tuesday (3/16); hopefully I can make some of my money back!

Fore!
