This was my normal Tuesday Shawnee GC day. For some reason today they started everybody on the back nine first. I shot a 42 - 43 = 85. For those of you who don't know Shawnee, the 42 was on a par 36 nine and the 43 was on a par 34 nine. So my 43 was actually 3 strokes than my 42. I don't know why, but I keep being amazed at how short I hit the ball. I hit six irons from distances a normal golfer would hit a pitching wedge.
I play the senior tees. They've moved them back for the summer and on most holes it only gives about 10 - 15 yards advantage. I like the winter locations better. Makes me feel like a long knocker.
It's made me think though, that shooting an 85 and not being real pleased with it is a little out of line. There are millions of golfers out there who would be tickled to death with an 85, even from the senior tees.
Bob your honesty is admirable. Keep on trucking. You are having fun. That's a biggie in the "Golden Years?"
