Was not looking forward to getting up at 5:30 a.m. on a Sunday to play any type of golf, esp. in the rain. Best ball 4some started at 8 and it was raining. Got to the point it was intermittent, but still got wet. Wind picked up a bit and kept it going South, so after a few holes we were good, but still soaked. Temp steady at 66.
Great day, as it turned out and very glad I didn't fake illness and miss it.😄
There were chip-in birdies, there were Par 4 greens being driven😲, and not always with the driver....fer chrissakes! Very strange feeling standing on a Par 4 & be putting for eagles; a couple of which did make the card, along with several birdies....nary a bogey even though we did butcher a Par 5, for a par, which gave us -12. And we all know that was never going to be good enough.
Had 1 hella putt for longest(& birdie), and then stood and watched a fella behind us wipe me out. He ended up with the prize.
Most shocking part of the whole day..........4.5 hours!!! No backups on any hole, and there were more than 18 teams.
