Rocks In Your Pockets

That's what you needed at times yesterday with strong winds swirling around our favorite links.  The gust was so strong on #5 tee yesterday I almost got blown backwards and popped my tee shot straight up and managed to get it to the silver tee.  Needless to say I wasn't a factor on that hole.  Seven of us managed to make it around without losing too many balls.  The wind even affected our putting (and not in a good way).  Another five days and I think the greens will be really good.

They are forecasting some overnight showers (which we need) and clearing skies for Thursday afternoon.  So it should be a good day to play.  Hopefully we'll have a big group so we can get back to playing regular golf.  I think the LR Dr. is getting tired of having his skins neutralized by the common folk.  He was heard to be grumbling about too many 5 for 3 scores.  We must be cutting into his gas money.  But it is interesting how someone will shoot a 100 and walk away with two skins.

No winners with the dice.  Actually I don't think anyone was close.

Off to play IC today.  That usually is a humbling experience.  Although I have had moments of brilliance on certain holes, like #18 where I've had more than my share of birdies.  It's the other 17 that give me fits.
