We played our usual golf at Shawnee GC today. The yellow tees were moved back to the Summer locations, so it lengthened the course for us. I don't know why they move them back so early. The ground is still soft and we're getting no roll on our drives. For me, this makes a lot of the par 4's unreachable. On 4 or 5 of the par 4's today I hit a good drive, good 3-wood, and was still about 10-20 yards short of the green. I really thought I played pretty decent today, except for a couple of holes, and shot a 44 - 44 = 88.
There were a couple of par 3's that I really messed up. And those holes should be my bread and butter. But plunking one in the water on one hole, and blasting over the green from a bunker on another, and all of sudden I have a big number on an easy par-3 hole.
The grass is starting to grow in on the fairways. I noticed my back yard when I took my clubs out this morning, and it won't be very many days before I'm going to need to cut my grass.
Oh well, nice weather, good friends, and I hit enough good shots that I don't feel too bad about my bad score.
