It was a little warmer today, though also a bit cloudy. So I did go golfing. I went to a different course, this one has green grass! The one I went to yesterday (and struggled mightily) has dormant fairways right now, it's grass, sort of! I think having some real grass under the ball helps.
Anyway, for about 20 minutes, I thought I could play! (Non golfers can tune out, I just feel like telling someone!) The first hole is about a 310 yard par 4, I used my 5 wood off the tee to be safe, and had about 90 yards left. I made a pretty nice approach. I hit my putt, it rolled up to the hole, stopped, looked in, and then fell! The next hold is about 470 yard, a par 5. It's a bit uphill for the first 150 yards, but then falls downhill to the hole. So the tee shot is blind. I hit it well, and it rolled down the hill, about 300 yards in the middle of the fairway! Then I hit my 7 wood, it rolled off the back of he green about 20 feet from the hole. Chipped it to 8 inches, easy birdie! Then a par 3, tee shot on the green and two putts. The next hole is a shortish par 5, I took a a 6 with a sand save, and that included a drive into the desert and a penalty. (I rehit from the tee, so it was kinda like another birdie!) I came back to earth after that, but still!
On the way home I stopped at XW's house and did some network setup. I do it because it's really for the kids, and I like doing that kind of thing, anyway. Then S12 and I had dinner, S15 is staying at a friend's house tonight.
