Weekend recap

Worked Saturday morning and then joined the 'rentals for a game with the gang at Liftlock.  Ended up walking around with Butch and Leigh, they're a great couple and both can flat out play!  Scraped around in 8 over, ok so it's a par 60 course but I had one triple bogey and another bogey on each 9.  At least 4 chances for budgie and could not roll a putt, no idea what's happening there.  Going back to Thursday I had went to hit some balls at the range and played a few holes, hitting it alright but the putting stroke is not there at all.  I think I bent the Sonoma somehow, it's not sitting square with the grip at all...so I brought the Beach off the bench and used it Saturday with still no great success or confidence.  I drove a 280 yard par 4 and 3 whacked it for par....brutal.

Sunday was a club Pot of Golf competition thinger and I put my name in a few weeks ago just to get out.  Brought in a 64, 4 over, had 2 birds including a chip in on 18 for a no-putt!  Hit the ball well, started off a little shaky with the Beach but then made a few clutch rolls and everything started coming together.  The PoG was using a Callaway system which doesn't normally work for me as a higher cappers get more taken off.  I ended up net 62 and in a 3-way tie but due to the 2 handicap from the system I won 60 bones!  Unfortunately that moolah is in the form of a gift card, so I'll have to use it for food or booze.  ;-)

Crappy day outside, good times ahead though

After a recent flurry of non golfing mixed with exams and getting into the new semester's swing of things, here I am with a recap. 

Played in the GAO Best Ball Qualifier at Bond Head on the 27th of April... what a disaster that was, I didn't play well at all, didn't support my partner very well.  I had a feeling going in that a good result wasn't in the cards but have had that feeling in the past with excellent results.  Rather than get into the boring post round minutiae of how badly I sucked a spark of reason or clarity about how to play golf came to mind.  I won't get into that type of competition again, the partner format doesn't work for me.  If I make a mistake then I'll worry too much about not supporting the partnership's effort.  If they make a mistake then I'll worry about making sure they don't get the same feeling I get... or something like that.   So in the end, if I go into an ultra competitive tourney again it'll be just me against the course and the field.  'Nuff said!
