Two personal bests!

I shot 42 at the Canoe Club today, which shattered my personal best of 45. Woo hoo!

More importantly, I swept the par threes, winning all the money, which was $16 as Jen, Gus, Bob and Ron were out with me.

I was the only one on the first par 3. We all missed the second; Jen got hosed - literally - as there was a sprinkler hose blocking some of the path to the green which likely stopped her ball from rolling on. Ugh.

On number 8, four of us were on, and Ron's shot rolled close to mine so it wasn't clear which of us was closer looking from the tee, or if Gus even was closer than us. Turned out I was closest, but ended up three putting. Oops.

That made number 9 a three hole carry over. Gus hit it to the left, and Jen to the right. Ron was also left, and Bob had the right line but was a bit short. My shot was right at the stick, and about 10 feet to the left of it. I made a good run at a birdie, which counts double, but rolled it about two feet by the hole. Rountine par.

Cha-ching.

Of course, I was humbled yesterday at Player's, another 9 hole course here in Winnipeg, where I shot 59. It's more difficult than the Canoe Club, and I lost a few balls, but found a couple. Best part of that round was that I had no three putts. All two or less, which is good for me.
