What I’ve been known for is going low on the front and choking on the back.  So I wanted that to change today.  
We had a 9 hole league match against 5 other teams and I played really solid.  I had 8 pars and one double bogey (38).  And also my good friend Dylan who is also 15 shot a 35 for the 9 hole tourney (he also hasn’t broken 80).  
So we both proceeded onto asking our coach if we could play the back.  He said yes and we were on.  
I birdied 3 holes on the back and ended up shooting a 37 on the back. So in total a 75.  My friend Dylan was choking really hard In the beginning of the back nine.  He was 1 under after 9 then he got up to 8 over through 14.  He now had to clutch up.  Which is exactly what he did.  He went 1 under through the next 4 to shoot 79.  So in the end it was a story book day.  We both broke 80 and were pretty stoked on it. (Also our team won the tourney which was a bonus) (extra bonus - it’s also pretty cool beating your friend who was 3 up after nine 😉  )

Congrats!  I love that course.  I've played it a few times.  My first memory of it was as about a 19 handicap, and our club had a tournament up there, and for some silly reason, everyone was told to play the black tees.  I tell you, hole 2 was awful for our flight (and everyone behind us).  We got it right in future tournaments :-) 

Seriously, congrats both on your score and on being able to play that course regularly.  

Also... birdies on both the back nine par-3s.  Even sweeter.  I can still picture them both.  Hole 10 is gorgeous, I have a picture of it around here somewhere too.

(Just make sure you aren't aiming at the pins from that distance... ;-)  )

      Determining Out of Bounds

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
