1. Hit a straight, low, long drive. I could actually see it. With a golfer getting ready in the parking lot, I didn't hit a mulligan. Two cruddy worm-burners short of green. Two chips went left. Two okay chips, both left. Third chip much better. Two putt.
2. Hit a decent 7 iron off tee. It faded left, and though all the rough had been cut, I couldn't find it. Poor chip, then a better chip. Two putt for "bogey".
3. Hit several poor 9 irons off the tee. Lost two balls. Finally skidded one straight that rolled most of the way down the hill. Worm burned a chip that rolled to the back of the green. Mulligan bounced off the side of the elevated green. Three good lag putts. "Bogey".
4. Two poor tee shots. One veered left, though long. Mulligan a worm burner with a decent roll. Chipped one short and right. Mulligan to the left fringe. Three lag putts. "Bogey".
5. Tee shot pulled into the woods. First mulligan long, low, and slightly left. Third try better: long, low, that rolled off the left side of the green. Good chip. Sank the 12 foot putt for "par".
6. Flubbed two hybrids off the tee. Third try better, but left into the brush. Fourth try longer, but also into the brush. Played my first ball. Hit a decent hybrid, decent distance but left into the rough. Played it where it laid (behind a tree). Hit two left, into the brush. Third shot better but the tree knocked it down. Last try sailed through the tree to the fringe. Found the two balls I had hit into the woods, a tranquil place with a creek. Chipped three balls. Two putt. "Double".
7. First drive off the tee was dent. Started slightly left and feded right. Not the longest but in the middle of the fairway. Hit three more. None good. Hit four hybrids but only one was good. Hit two good 9 irons to the back of the green. Third try was terrible. Hit two lag putts, then two more putts to finish the hole. "Double".
8. Decent drive off the tee. Hit a wedge low, but it rolled onto the green. Frist lag putt was decent. Hit two more for practice. Sank the putt for an actual par.
9. Three wood off tee. First shot was decent. Two mulligans weren't. Played all three balls. One of the second shots rolled to the fringe. Putted three balls. Sank my third try for a "par" – the first time I had ever played that long, uphill par three with a wickedly sloped green in three shots.
To celebrate I stopped by Wendys on the way to work for a breakfast biscuit. After work I stopped by Steak & Shake on the way home for a milkshake.
