What Might be the Topic? Golf, of Course!
Surprise, surprise! I played golf again today. I didn't do very well, but did force myself to try to use my new putter that I've previously not done too well with. Scotty did very well today (Scotty Cameron Red X). I was putting really well, and drained a 10 footer or so for a birdie on the last hole. I had many 30 - 50 foot putts that I managed to get w/in a few inches of the cup. Of course, I had some 8s thrown in there as well, so my overall score was 102, which peeves me, especially since my putting was very good. The sandtraps were my downfall today, so now I know what I need to work on. (Another thing I need to work on, that is.)
I've been wondering all weekend why my throat and lungs are kind of burning. Today I found out. Towards the end of the back 9 a strong wind kicked up in advance of a thunderhead. This course has a lot of pine trees on it, and the pollen was coming off the trees in huge, thick yellow clouds. The whole valley must be choked with pollen, and choking me in the process.
Thanks to the wind, sand, and heat, I now have a nice coating of grit stuck to my sunscreen. I think a shower is in order. Then maybe grill a couple of chorizos, have brew, and call it a weekend.
Not a very interesting post, I know, but for a change we didn't have any horrific weather to talk about. Just a gorgeous day, up until the wind on the last couple of holes.

Aside from the 20 some odd strokes on that one hole from hell and the 8 strokes I took on that par 3 (I had flashy things in my eyes which distracted me and made me play bad golf), I'd say my game was better than I expected for my first time out this year. I didn't stay for the wind, though. Instead, I went home and researched the possibility of keeping a grill lit in a wind storm. Anyhoo, thanks for the game. I had fun in spite of my ability.
You did great! You had some awesome drives and fairway wood shots, particularly. There were several holes where your drive and fairway wood shots were terrific. The irons did seem to give you a bit of a headache, but that was probably due to my advice.
