I got out for 9 holes walking at an executive course in Portsmouth, VA. Six par 3s and three par 4s, the longest of which reads 292 on the scorecard.
Thought I had an ace on the first hole. PW shot hit the flag on the fly, near the bottom of the flag. Didn't see the ball bounce off. Had a prior 'slam dunk' ace as a kid, so I thought just maybe lighting would strike twice. Ball was in a bunker behind the green. 😢
On the 292-yard par four I busted a drive to 45 yards from the flagstick. I think the flag was really only 284 from the tee box, though, according to my laser. Still a good drive for me.
On the whole, the round was so-so. Only had two really good looks at birdie and missed them both. Hit some good shots but some iffy ones, too. Took me a good four or five holes to get used to how slow the greens were.
Overall, though, being able to play nine with a pushcart in mid-November with temps near 70 and blue skies was a win.
