We had four groups today, and my group won. I got $8, my first golf income for 2011. I didn't help my team a whole lot, but I don't think I hurt them much. I shot a 46 - 40 + 86. My 12 handicap netted me a 74. I thought I played pretty good today but the course is playing tough. The tees have been moved back for the summer, but it's still cold and the ground very soft. So, the ball's not carrying and we're getting no roll, which makes the course play very long for a short knocker like me. Several of the holes I couldn't reach in regulation with my best shots. And a lot of the ones I could reach took a good fairway wood. Also, I left 4 putts on the lip of the cup, like the picture. Another half turn and they would have fallen. The first two holes of the day I had long putts and went by the holes about 6-8 feet and the rest of the day I had just the perfect speed or just short. I guess the first two putts got in my head. Nothing the rest of the day was well past the hole. Also, it's hard to get a good lie in the fairways this time of year. Not much grass to be found. I always did like my ball sitting up on some grass. Anyway, it was fun, I walked the 18, and felt like a played better than I scored.
