Second best

46 today at the Canoe Club, my second best total ever there. Just Gus and I were out, as the weather kept others away. It had rained between 11 and 11:30, but it was fine at 12 when we teed off, and didn't rain again. Heck, I ended up golfing in short sleeves after arriving in a windbreaker and mock t-shirt. It seems the other people we golf with - or more often don't - are weather wimps.

I could have been lower, as I took a 9 on the first hole, squibbing a second shot over the riverbank edge and four putting. Ugh.

But I did hit the green on 8 and made par to win that hole after Gus won the first two by driving the 7th green and making par (neither of us were on the first par 3). Gus was also on the 8th green, but I was closer.

I teed off first on 9, and made the front edge of the green on the right side. Gus also drove the green, to the left and further back. The pin was over to the left centre, so he was closer and made his par to carry the day.

Still it was a good day for me. Shot pretty well. Need some practice around green, getting up and down. Clocked a couple chips across the green today that I was trying to plop on, which also added to my score.
