December golf

Well, I have retrieved my clubs from the basement after storing them the other day. I took Friday, 12/15 as a vacation day many weeks ago. As luck would have it it was 55' and nice enought to play golf!!

I had the back nine on the south course to myself and decided to play two balls. A Calloway and a Titliest and have a match between the two.

The course really was mine to explore although I did see one guy on the 8th hole as I moved up my first hole. The Calloway started out par, par and the Titliest went bogie, bogie. I birdied the 3rd hole with the Titliest to cut the lead to one stroke. I really was not trying to favor one ball or the other.

The two traded pars until the 7th hole when I birdied with the Calloway. A fine birdie on a tough hole. I hit an up hill, into the wind, 160 yard 3 iron to about 20 feet and canned the putt to get to one-under with the Calloway.

Through 7 holes the Calloway was one under and the Titliest was one over. Not bad considering how late it is in the season.

In the end, C bogied #8 and parred #9 for a even par 36 and T bogied #9 to get to two over, 38. Nice round. Can I call that a 74?
