Sporty Wednesday

Had my best round ever at the Canoe Club on Wednesday. Shot 43, and my previous best was 45. Birdied the second hole for the first time ever. Going 5 and 4 for 9 after two holes makes it easier to shoot a good score than being 21 after two holes as I was a couple weeks back.

Didn't win any money, although I did par one of the par threes. Jen swept the week, which is the first time she's done that. She did it even after missing a chance to score on the first par 3. And she'd been complaining about how much Wednesdays were costing her, but she paid for her round this week, or rather we paid for her round.

Then last night I played doubles racquetball with Jim, Gus and Doug, and we had really competitive games. Gus and I won the first match, 2 games to 1, then they won the second match 2-0, 16-14 in game two, and they also won the last match 2-1, with a 12-10 win in game 3 where we had a 10-4 (2?) lead. All the games were pretty close. I felt myself cramping up some in the last game, so I don't think I could have played more. But playing for over 2 hours is enough.

Hey look, bucko, my clubs are from this decade, except for the 3 wood, which I like I gotta say. You just didn't look very closely at the rest of them.

Picked up some golf shoes and broke them in on Wednesday, so maybe it's all about the shoes.

Grand Pooba said...

yes, but what colour shoes? and which ones to wear on which day given current conditions? Based on my calculations,a good golfer needs at least 3.5 shoes...and 13 socks...at least.

Got me some black ones. I realize that wearing white socks with them when I'm wearing shorts might look unfashionable, but I figure it's golf, so that's just par for the course - so to speak.

And is it 13 socks or 13 pairs of socks?

13 socks. just throw the extra one into the dryer as a sacrifice to the sock demon that must devour at least one of your favorite socks.
