1. Wide fairway, small green at the top of the hill. Highest point on the course.
2. Plenty of room on the left to miss the fairway and green, but then the scrubby trees block your approach. Miss the green to the right and you lose your ball. Behind the green is a severe dropoff.
3. Downhill par three. Small green. Severe dropoff to the left, back, and right. Easy to lose your ball on this hole.
4. A decent par three, though like many of the greens, balls will roll off the back and left side.
5. Narrow fairway. Woods to the left, street to the right. Elevated green with the biggest dropoff to the left.
6. Par four. Marsh to the left, a few trees on the right - and a hill. Elevated green. Balls will roll off the back and left.
7. Large dropoff to the left, in the fairway and on the green.
8. Gotta climb a steep hill to the new tee box. It suits my game. Easy hole, but balls can roll off the back and feed down into the creek.
9. Tough uphill par three. Wide fairway with trees on each side, that funnels up to a tiny dome shaped green. Severe slope. Putts will roll back down off the front and left.
Tuesday morning I played golf for the third time all year. Teed off a few minutes after 7 am. 44 degrees, but the three layers kept me warm. Wore my gloves the entire round, as well as my old wrist wrap. Would've taken some pictures, but I would've had to take off the wrist wrap and glove.
1. Good straight tee shot. After a flub, my fairway shot was good. Then I chipped onto the green. Missed the par putt.
2. Hit a fair tee shot, then lost a lightup ball when I hit a mulligan. Two good chips, but both went too long. on hole seven i would realize I chipped the entire round with the wrong club. Georgia State professor Gee T joined me. I hadn't seen him since December. For the most part, we only hit one ball on each shot.
3. Hit two tee shots: one left, then one right. Nice chip, followed by a poor lag putt.
4. I'm beginning to think you can't hit a good shot on this hole. Gee hit a great shot, but it rolled off the left side of the green. My tee shot started way right, but it bounced down the hill into the left rough. Then I hit a good chip - and it almost rolled off the left side of the green.
5. I hit a very nice tee shot, that settled just short of the green. made an okay chip, but it rolled off the left side of the green. So many tough, small greens at Candler Park. But then a nice little chip that stopped not far from the hole. Of course I milled the putt.
6. My drive off the tee stayed right of the big oak, but it still carried way past it. Hit a low 5 iron that rolled down the hill way over to the left rough. Then I overclubbed, but hit two nice 9 irons. The first stuck on the back of the green. But I hit a poor par putt.
7. My drive was just okay, as was my 5 iron fairway shot. But I poked a nice 7 iron to the front fringe. Then another poor par putt.
8. Hit a tree with my drive. It was directly in front of me, so at least I hit it straight. Hit a good mulligan down to the middle of the fairway. Then a great wedge that hit in the front rough, and rolled onto the green not far from the hole. Missed the birdie putt.
9. A good straight hybrid off the tee. Two decent chips, but a poor par putt. Finished at 8:30.
Drove straight to the gym. Only worked out for an hour. The ladies in the sauna were talking about a good book they were reading: The Correspondent. Later I checked it out - I already have it on hold to read.
Forgot: Monday when I was getting my oil changed in Roswell, about a mile from Centennial High School, I overheard a lady talking on the phone. She lives in the house where the Seattle Seahawks head coach used to live when he was in high school. The coach's father still lives down the street.
It happens every year: USA Today predicted the Braves to finish third in the NL East, behind the Phillies and Mets.
TONY LAZZERI [SABR Bio] was the first to hit 60 home runs in a season. Lazzeri did it in 192 games for the Salt Lake City Bees of the PCL. Babe Ruth’s best home run year was 1927 when he hit 60. On 03-Jun-1932, Lazzeri hit for a natural cycle, namely, a single, double, triple & HR in that order, the last hit being a grand slam. But on the same day (a) Lou Gehrig hit four home runs, (b) Babe Ruth hit his 15th home run of the season, the 2nd-best in MLB, (c) Jimmie Foxx hit his ML-best 19th homer for the Philadelphia Athletics, and (d) John McGraw announced that he was retiring as the New York Giants manager.
Article: Kid Rock quoted Kobe Bryant. The singer shared a quote labeled "Mamba Mentality" from the late NBA legend on his social media. “Learn to love the hate. Embrace it. Enjoy it. You earned it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone should have one about you. Haters are a good problem to have. Nobody hates the good ones. They hate the great ones.”
Denison: I know that I will go to heaven when I die. I know that this life cannot begin to compare with that life and that after one instant on that side, I'll be eternally glad I'm there (Revelation 21:4). I know that I could die at any moment and find myself in Jesus' presence (Hebrews 9:27), and that he could appear at any moment in ours (Acts 1:11). But in full transparency, I don't want that day to be this day. I have more I want to do in this life. I want to see my grandchildren grow up. I want to experience more of the beauty of this incredible world and die when I have nothing more to give. And I'd rather not suffer on the way to my death, and emphatically do not want those I love to suffer on the way to theirs.
Denison has a new website article, "Should I have watched the Grammys? A reflection on cultural engagement and spiritual purity."
Ronald Reagan observed: "Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid."
