Tuesday golf at Shawnee GC

We played our normal Tuesday golf at Shawnee GC again today. They had just  aerated the greens and fairways. Some of the greens hadn't even had the sand applied yet.  The plug holes were very bumpy, most of them sticking up around the edges where the plug had been pulled out.  Made for very tough putting. The fairways had been overseeded, too.  Made for very little roll on your drives. So, overall, the course played a lot tougher today than normal. I shot a 41 - 43 = 84.  I had one bad drive today. I tried to hit it low into the wind, ended up topping it off the tee and rolling it about 30 yards.  I still was able to keep the damage to just a bogey, with a one putt on a bumpy green. Plus, on the first hole I hit my second shot OB, ended up taking an 8.  Nice way to start any round.  So, a 41 on front wasn't so bad when you start with an 8.  Walking 18 holes in 66 degree weather is a whole lot better than walking 18 in 99 degree weather.  This was round 59 for the year.
