One Out of 3 Ain't Good

When I arrived at Candler Park Saturday morning at 710 am, it was still dark. The professor’s Tesla was in the parking lot, but he was nowhere to be found. Finally in the distance I saw a lighted golf ball rolling on the first green. He must’ve teed off before 7 am! As I got ready to play, I saw the flight of his tee shot on the second hole. I played alone, hitting three shots each time. Sadly, for the most part only one of the 3 would be decent.

1. Good hybrid off the tee. So so 7 iron left of green. Two decent chips out of four. Good lag putt.

2. I underclubbed, so my tee shots were far short. One good chip out of four.  

3. Hit the green on one of my 3 tee shots. “Par”.

4. Hit the green again on one of my 3 tee shots. “Par”.

5. Hit the green again on one of my tee shots. Third straight “par”.

6. Good hybrid off the tee. Then I hit a tremendous 6 iron just left of the green. Furthest I think I’ve ever hit a six. Shot of the day. One decent chip out of several. Two putt for “bogey”.

7. No tee shot was good. Did hit an okay 5 iron. Hit four approach shots in the vicinity of the green. Three putted from off the green. “Double”.

8. Hit two good tee shots with my driver. Then four poor chips. Took 2 more chips to get on the green, playing my worst ball. Two putt for another “double”.

9. Couldn’t find either tee shot, then I lost a third ball with a terrible chip. But the other chip was great. Two putt for a closing “bogey”.

Stopped by RaceTrac, Dollar Tree, and a thrift store on the way home. Was expecting a long line at the voting place at 945 am, but there wasn’t. After running into Noelle and Reid, when I got in line there was only one person in front of me. Civic duty accomplished. Except I have yet to post a picture of my "I VOTED" sticker.

Quesadillas for an early lunch. Watched Tech. Too many dropped passes. True freshman QB Philo looked good in his debut. Watched bits of other games, and took a nap. Also laundry and other housework. Drove C to Whole Foods and Publix. Meatloaf for sup.

Sunday school and worship. Ceil had an afternoon wedding shower. I fixed me quesadillas for lunch and later for supper (we had lots of leftover rice and meat). Watched the Falcons and napped. Later I raked the front yard, and mowed the side and back. Took Ceil’s car to get gas.

Up early to lift weights at the gym. Stressed about work. Takes weeks to get material ordered, answering the same questions over and over. Hope I don’t run out. Friday the boss said I could take off early. Didn’t he remember how much work I have to do? Then today he asked why something a month old hadn’t been done yet. I am NEVER caught up. Would be nice to use one of my vacation days, but I am so far behind.

Ceil had the doors in the foyer painted to match the new built in. And had the bannister painted.

BOB FELLER [SABR Bio] was the first pitcher to strike out 18 batters in a 9-inning game. On 02-Oct-1938(1), Feller, a month shy of his 20th birthday, fanned 18 Detroit Tigers, but lost 4-1 in a game lasting just over 2 hours. After he retired from baseball Feller incorporated as Ro-Fel, Inc., in order to reduce his tax burden. He was the first American League pitcher going by his given name to start an All-Star game. Feller was the starting pitcher in 1941. All the others, from 1933-1940 were called either “Lefty” or “Red”.

I don’t use the word “bro” enough.
