ARod vs Junior


With the apparent retirement of Alex Rodriquez, his career numbers can be compared to those of the greats. His numbers do not quite compare to Hank Aaron, but they in line with Willie Mays. But ARod’s statistics surpass those of 2016 hall of fame inductee Ken Griffey Junior.

Tuesday night Ceil was attending a women’s event at her school. M had a doctor’s appointment, then attended Joel Norman’s church in Brookhaven with his friends. Joel leads music on Tuesday nights. With nobody to go home to, I left work at six and played golf.
 
Parred several par threes. Hit some good shots and some bad. I just can’t hit the ball very far, which will probably render me ineffective in the upcoming tournament. Hit my driver on two or three par three holes. Instead of talking about my good shots, here’s a few of my bad ones: hitting my tee shot into the water – directly behind me, teeing off from the back tee, my shot did not advance past the middle tee box. Three tee shots landed on or near the tee boxes of adjacent holes. I only had to yell “FORE!” once.
 
The front nine greens had been aerated earlier in the day, so I played the longer back nine, then the sandy first hole, then 11-15 again. The darkness made it hard to find my shots, so I called it a day after that. Still haven’t recovered from my soreness and exhaustion.
