This morning me, Blaine and Dale went to Pinewoods Golf in Sauble Beach. They made some changes v. last year. Last year the 7th hole and 8th hole were both par 3s. This year they moved the 7th hole way back, turning it into a par 5 and the 8th way up, turning it into a par 4, lengthening the course by quite a bit. It was a lot of fun. In poker there's a term called tilt. I don't know if there's a label for it in golf, but as everyone who's ever golfed knows, it can be very frustrating. i lost my cool. i hit about 3/5 shots with my 5-iron (normally my most reliable club) about 10 feet on the 2 par 5's. i ended up throwing a ball into the water. i joked that it was cheaper to throw that than to throw a club. :) it was kinda ironic because everytime i go out, as anyone who has ever played with me can attest to, i preach things like "you shouldn't pay money to get mad", and i never swear. i swore today. on the last hole, it was a par 4, i hit a tree on the left hand side, then hit a beautiful 6-iron shot to put it about 30 or 40 feet from the pin. i two putted and got my par. so it ended well. we shot from the blue tees which added about 270 yards over 9 holes.
my drives were more erratic than they have been all year but they were still pretty good. my long irons were inconsistent. my short game was erratic. my putter was probably my best club (or my 6 iron). i hit some good shots, i hit some terrible shots. i consistently hit better from 40 yards and in than i had done all year, but it was my worst game by far with my 5 iron. we all had a good time...i had my first beer of the season on the course, but only one and that's when all my troubles began so i'm not back on the "beer wagon" when golfing.
