  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

A rare bird on the golf course

So after a long night of over-indulgance I barely made my 1 o'clock tee time today. My warm up session on the range was terrible, and I felt it was going to be a bad day on the golf course. I played the first 7 holes at 4 over par, then the wheels fell off on the 8th hole with a triple bogey and on the ninth hole I had a double bogey. So I shot a 45 on the front nine and was hoping to break 90 for the day, then came the 10th hole. I hit one of my best drives about 270 yards in to the wind in the middle of the fairway. The wind was in my face so I decided to hit a little knock-down pitching wedge from 100 yards. So I hit the shot and it was dead at the flag and I knew it would be close, then it drops about 6 feet passed the flag and starts drawing back, at this point my buddy starts hollering "get in the hole", and wouldn't you know....the thing trickles down and drops in for an eagle, thus ensued a plethora of fist pumps and high fives. I had a hole in one about 10 years ago that I still remember like it was yesterday and now have this shot too. I ended up shooting a 37 on the back nine for an 82 today, but that one shot will keep me coming back for a long time.

When I'm playing golf, the only bird usually mentioned is ....



DUCK!
Usually after I hit one of those big "King Quacker" hooks I'm famous for.

Seriously, congrats on the eagle. It's been a long time for me. I think it was the last day of my golf league four years ago. I was thinking of not going back the next year. Last hole, driver, six iron. The cart boy started going nuts behind the green. Didn't realize it 'til I got to the green that my shot went in. Would've been much better if I saw it go in.
