Golf – July 30/08

Today was Seniors Day and you must be 55 years old to belong to Seniors for all Zone #2 events. However, I am allowed to play Eagle Point Seniors events as a Junior Senior since I am over 50 and I am an Eagle Point Member. I like to tell folks that I am on a Sponsors Exemption, it sounds like the “really guys”. Today I started off by skying the ball about 150yds then mis-hit to short of the green, made a great chip and then got the putt to drop for a par……….. really lucky. However, the tee shot was a sign of things to come. I took a triple bogie on the Par 5 which is #5 and 4 of the 8 shots I took shots came from less than 100 yds off the green and I could clearly see the green. Trying to hit the ball from the sandy soil where the trees were is very difficult, the ground looks hard however you need to play the ball as if you are in a sandtrap. Do you think I could get my brain and muscles coordinated to make that happen?????? The bright spot was chip in birdie on #8 and I finished the front nine with a 43. The back was about the same and I ended up with a 44 for a total of 87. By the time I adjusted the score for the triple bogie I entered an 86 and my index stayed at an 11. The good news was for the chip in birdie I won 4 bucks in the side games we had going.
