I was able to play in Phoenix after our interview with the DOD. I had another first, a rather incredible first at that! I scored three birdies in one round. In all my rounds, I have only been able to get one birdie per round, and sometimes none at all. I was thrilled to get two, but three?! I was ecstatic! I am up to eight birdies this year now. Let me see if I can remember and type them all here quickly. I know I got one at the long par five #5 at Hidden Valley. That was one of the first. I also got one at the very next hole, but on a different date. I made a long putt playing with Eric. Then two holes after that one but on a different day, I made a beautiful pitch after a bad drive on that short hole #8 and made that downhill putt. That’s three. I also got one at Civitan on hole #3. I knocked a pitching wedge into a strong wind from about 100 yards out and landed it three feet or less from the hole. That’s four for sure. I also count making the birdie putt on hole #18 during the Aztec Football Fundraiser Scramble as one of my birdies, even though I just made the last shot on that one. It was a long putt from off the fringe with some tournament pressure weighing in on me. That makes five, and now I just got three more in one round! I will type in the details later, but they were all on par threes as this was an executive nine that I was playing on. The only bummer is that there were no witnesses but me, but I know they were all legitimate. Hey, I am really up to nine this year! I was just reading some previous entries and I forgot the one when I was playing with Guy, Daryl, and AM up in Lakewood at the Foothills course! One more and I will have matched last year’s total number. And it’s only December! Can’t wait to go out and play some more and hopefully get another one, or two… or three more.
