Today was the opening week for the weekly 9 hole "twilight" men's association tournaments here. It's about a 6 month wait between seasons.
As expected, it was an unpredictable early season round. Just like the first tee shot of the season here, I hit my first tournament shot in the same water in the same spot. I started the weekly tournaments with a double.
I one-putted the first three holes and none of the putts were easy. I was given 3 shots for the 9 holes. That was gone after 4 holes.
Here is how I played the last hole; a very easy short par 5:
Drove in the water in the same place as Sunday
Hit a pathetic 3 wood even worse than Sunday
Hit a 9 iron from behind the lip in a sand trap
Couldn't find the ball...it was probably in a tree
Rehit the sand shot with a PW just to try to get back into play
Hit a very fat 7 iron way short
Hit a low, thin SW 30 feet past the flag
Putted 4 feet past the hole
Missed the come-backer
Tapped in for an 11
To make things worse, they probably won't use this score for the course handicap
.
No pictures. Maybe I should have taken a picture of the water, sand, tree, sand, and rough on 9 and attach them to the round to remind me later...
