I pretty well put a whooping on pops today but he gave me a run on the back 9. I had him by 6 after the front then I let things fall apart a bit. The 11th has two large pines on either side of the fairway at the bottom of a gully. A 250-260yd. shot is enough to run it down there and a 90-120yd. shot to the green. I hit the pine on the left on one hope and it stayed in there. I knocked out and then chunked my 3rd, a SW. Then on the 12th I hit the straightest bomb ever on that hole and then chunk another SW. It was quite sickening and dad was really just a par machine through to the 16th. I thought I had him for sure when I hit the GIR with a near perfect 5iron from the 17th fairway.... then I 3putted it. Then on the 18th poor dad ran out of luck. He pulled the crap out of his tee shot on the 138 yd. par 3. The wind was swirling so I figured a PW from back in the stance would get there, flew it slightly right but chipped to 5ft. and drained it. Dad had a nice chip over the trap to about 6 ft. and then 3 putted. I ended up taking him by 4strokes after my horrid back 9. I should have told him he needed to 2 putt for a 89. I think it's come time that I may have to give him some strokes, I just know he won't want them. He used to beat me every time but now I've pretty much got it on him in every aspect of the game.
