Annual Texas Scramble Highlights

[enis750]

well i figured I would post this here, as it was a pretty good tourney
my good friend and Real Estate Agent and his firm put on a Texas scramble each year to raise money for Camp Easter Seals
usually a good turnout and a bunch of $$ raised for a good cause
normally a bunch or agents and their Mortgage Brokers (me) get together and try to score the lowest
it was sunny (+24º or so) slight wind and blue skies

Our Team:
*consisted of 4 dudes from a 6-26 hcp, ages from 27-56, so we had some variety
*one guy "the senior citizen" hahah, was a member of the course we were playing

Highlight # 1:
*my driving WAS incredible - i hit 14/14 fw yesterday
*I have been struggling off the T all year and it came together yesterday
*the ball did what i told it to all day - fade right, draw left, low burner into the wind, it didnt matter it happened
*the guys behind us (as it was backed up), asked if i ever got tired of hitting fairways all day - hahah! i replied NEVER!! haha!

Highlight # 2:
*we hit 18 GIR...the downside - the flatstick
*we could not putt to save our lives
*its not like we were leaving them 3 ft past the hole, but we had 4, YES 4 holes where the ball went in the front door, lipped around and came back to us out the front again - incredible

Highlight # 3: the Long Drive Hole
*the dude that won this hit the ball 347yds.....umm...ok
*we had 2 GPS units w us and i came unscrewed on my drive and blasted it 310yds - now not saying in am the longest hitter there, but i saw the guy that hit this ball "347"...i have a hard time believing it - he was also hammered out of his mind

Highlight # 4:
*we shot a respectfull and TRUTHFULL -4
*of course the guys that won, were the drunkest and shot -11....umm...ok, buts its whataver

Highlight # 5: Money Raised
*we ended up raising over $12,500 for Camp Easter Seals and the firm that put this on, matched it, so $25,000 raised in just over 6 hours of golf, few drinks and a great time.

i usually dont enjoy theses types of tourneys, as stated above: the long drive and guys that won
but this one was really a great time

i almost wanted to carry on another 9 as i was playing outstanding
out of the -4 we ended up, we used my drive, approach shot and my putt to win those holes - i was on FIRE!!!
i have been through some equipment changes all year, now everything is coming together
i think i would have shot par or better today, i just couldnt miss anything
only 2 small mistakes all day - one shot thin and one a little chunky but stil very playable

Anyways, that was my day yesterday
Now i have 12 missed called, 6 voice mails, 28 emails and 8 text messages to attend to...uugg....!! hahaha!!!!
