On to golf...
Also written on 11-13-13.
Bruce and I had a really fun, competitive match on the first Sunday of this month. I had not played since the Club Championship, so I requested Escalating Skins. Maybe I could win a few holes, I thought.
I messed up the score again, though, so I am writing this to set the record straight in my head, and because it was so enjoyable, too. This is the hole by hole account...
Hole #1-I won the bonus and the hole. I had a long drive, and I managed a par. Bruce got a bogey. Pat-20K to Bruce-0K
Hole #2-Bruce won the bonus and the hole this time. I was in the ditch, and I putted poorly for a triple. He was above the hole and on the green, but he missed his par and got a bogey, but he still won. Pat-20K to Bruce-40K
Hole #3-Bruce got a par. I got a bogey. Pat-20K to Bruce-70K
Hole #4-We rushed to play through a twosome, and we both earned double bogeys. The score remained the same.
Hole #5-Despite a bad tee shot that looked lost forever, I managed a bogey. Bruce helped me find my ball in the leaves just past the ditch. I had a good look at a par, but I missed the putt. Bruce got the bonus and the win with a fairway tee shot and a par. Pat-20K still, Bruce-180K
Hole #6-I was on the green in regulation, and I used only two putts for a par. Bruce faltered a bit and got a double. Pat 130K, Bruce 180K. I was doing my best to make it interesting.
Hole #7-I managed another par with a long drive that went way left, an approach that put my ball just left of the green in two shots, a pitch and two putts. Bruce got another double. It was getting interesting; I took the lead...barely. Pat 200K, Bruce 180K
