... it's crack! It's an addiction! It's as bad as gambling or calling an escort service every other night!
50's this morning. Had the round of the year. 37 on the front. 50 yards out on 18, a par 5. All I need is a chip and putt for bird. Birdie would have given me a 35 on the back... Even par for the round. Takes me 4 to get down from 50 yards... bogey! #$%^& Still, at 68 years old to card a 74??!!?? If I'd made the bird, would have shot 3 over my age. But...
I've got a set of Eye 2+, 1-wedge... all matching serial numbers located that I can pick up for a song. Then, I just found a set of BeNi ISI's, 1-9, W, W2, S, S2... all matching serial numbers that I can pick up even cheaper. I need (no, want) new wedges. Been to 4 different golf shops this past week.
See what I mean?? How many guys my age would love to even be able to play this game? How many people at any age would be pleased with carding a score in the lower 70's. Yet, I can't be satisfied. I still have to look for that magic, hidden inside a different set of clubs.
My cart partner shoots in the 90's. We have a blast, playing this game together. His clubs have to be 10 years old. He never carries more than 10 clubs. He's so tight, you couldn't pry $1 dollar out of him for a $300 driver... unless he could sell it tomorrow and pocket the change. He's is estatic when he can break 90. By hole 16 or 17, he always knows whether or not he has a chance. And, whether he breaks 90 or not, he has a good laugh and can't wait until the next round.
Me, on the other hand, can't be satisfied until I do shoot my age. I'm sure, after another iron set or two... after another fairway wood or two... after another putter or two.... I hate this Game!!!!!!
