We were back to our usual Tuesday's at Shawnee GC today. It was a hot one, but I decided to try and walk the whole 18. We had a 3-some today, and one of them, Jerome, was in a cart. I didn't hitch any rides on the front nine, but on the back nine I had to give in and take a few rides from the tee to our ball in the fairway. It helped a lot. I played pretty good today. I shot a 38 - 38 = 76 on a 34 - 36 = 70 course. Just 6 over par. I didn't accomplish one of my goals though, which is to play without a double bogey. I doubled the 5th hole. A poor tee shot into the trees, which kicked out onto the fairway, but a long way from the green. But my second shot was worse than the first. I hit it off the toe over into the trees again. So my 3rd shot, I had to hit a 4 iron back in my stance to keep it low, and try and fade it up to the green 135 yards away. And, I hit the green, which I thought was an excellent shot. But, I proceeded to 3-putt for a 6 after being a little bold on my first putt and running it 6 feet past the hole. But, that turned out to be my only bad hole of the 18. My handicap down at Shawnee is a 7. So, even shooting a good score, I don't think I have a chance to win any of the money.
Overall, I was pleased with the round. I believe this was round 29 for the year. I'll double check and change it if it's wrong!
