Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son. We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round. My round started off par-par-bogie. I was feeling good to be +1 through three. Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five. Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six. I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five. Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8. Now I'm +4 through six holes. Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole). Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over. Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front. We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round. Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment. Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag. Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par. It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer. I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first). We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round. It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot. I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club. I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side. I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green. I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green. Long story it became a 3putt double. Now I am +4 through sixteen. The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37. Total score is a 76! A new personal best. Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
