It's been several weeks since I've played a full 18 holes playing my own ball. I've played a scramble since then.
Today was very hot, so I decided to ride the 18 holes at Iroquois GC. We started on the back nine, so I'll list that first. I shot a 37 - 43 = 80. I feel like I played very good today. Yep, I messed up several shots, but overall, I was pleased with my play. Especially after not playing much in the past several weeks. I birdied #10 and #13, and a par on #14 had me 1 under after 5 holes! But, a bogey, par, bogey, bogey finish had me 2 over for the 9. But, the bogey on #17 was with a lost ball in the weeds. So, I was very pleased with a bogey on that hole.
I think the hot weather and riding helped me play better today, even though I haven't played much lately. I know I was getting a lot more distance on my shots, with the heat and the fairways drying out letting the ball roll a little.
I play Shawnee GC Thursday. I'm sure it hasn't grown in much yet, but at least the mud should be dried up! I think we'll be able to find grass to sit the ball on and the thin grass will allow a lot of roll. Should be OK. I plan on walking Thursday. Shawnee is nice and flat and even though it will be hot it should be very walkable.
When I finished the front nine with my 37 I was thinking it might get me some money. But I heard a lot of low scores on the first nine so I think it unlikely that will win anything. I'll let you know.
