The bad news Jerry, Kevin, Jeff, Sean and everyone was that it was 40 degrees with a 30 mph wind at 7am this morning.

I was sooooo cold, my brain froze with everything else. I should've worn the ski pants but it was SUPPOSED to be 65 degrees.

On my first two holes on the front 10 holes, I lost my ball positon! Then I lost my infinite plane line. I was so f'n cold that my ball position was too far back and I snapped everything left or I hit everything at a 45 degree angle to the right. I kept varying my take-away and down-stroke. Then, I started varying my hinges like a f'n moron. I couldn't think! I shot 53 on the front!


Finally, the wind died down, the sun came out and it broke 50 degrees. I kept doing my chips and pitches with a zero accumulator and distance-controled backstroke. At least that was working even though the front 10 greens were sand boxes. I remember looking down and deciding to slide the chip up in my stance to get more float. AND THEN IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT I NEEDED TO PUT THE BALL FORWARD IN MY FULL STROKE.

OK, so what did everybody else shoot and why?

Patrick,
That missive is just wonderful. I think I had a tear in the corner of my eye (or it could have been the dog's gas).
Kev had me on a Smart Stick once in the dome. I had that sucker pointed in places that now had light that had not seen light since the joint opened. I sent rats scurrying for cover.
Great stuff, Patrick. I am extremely happy for you.
Palms down... Great stuff.
