Our association plays money rounds on the weekends. Usually a $3 Nassau with $3 junk (birdies, greenies, sandies).
Today there was an odd number of guys, so I volunteered to not play for money. "Screw that, Jimmy plays," the reigning Club Champ said. So they powers-that-be re-aligned the game and the Club Champ took me as partner.
The game: $5 Nassau with $5 junk. No handicap.
I birdied two of the first three holes. Club Champ birdied the fourth. And we were on our way.
In the end, we wound up with 3-under on the front and 1-under on the back with 7 junk as a team. We won all four bets and brought home $80 each.
I shot a 77 with three 3-putts and a double bogey after a shanked 5-iron.
Club Champ: 73. And he missed two putts inside three feet.
Not a bad morning.
