Went out golfing late this afternoon, playing on a par 3 coarse to try and fix some of the problems I have with my game.
I played alone because my friends are all mature seniors and do not have much get up and go in the afternoon, I think they are having their naps about that time.
well. two over after 4 holes, not bad for me.
On the fifth tee you have to hit your across a channel that runs diagonally along the fairway for about 100 yards, (25 feet wide and 10 down to the water).
I hit the ball across and happily walked along the channel and picked couple of balls out of the water and finished the hole with a chip on and tree putts, not good, but happy that I got across the channel.
Now, all you golfers know how water affects the ball going over water, it just sucks your ball out of the air .
I think that is why they put the dimples on a ball, they are water magnets.
On the sixth hole which is 180 yards to the green and the fairway is about 120 yards wide, with the channel running along the right side.
I hit the ball and pushed it right, just short of the channel, about 170 yard with my 4 wood
(I told you that I am a mature senior)
At this point it turned into to a practice round and I hit another ball!
Why is it that every time you hit the second ball that it goes to the other side of the fairway.
Now I have two balls out there about 120 yards apart , so I teed up the third ball, hoping to hit it close to one of the two balls that I have out there, no such luck I dribbled it down the middle of the fairway about 50 yards.
I walked to the one in the middle of the fairway picked it up went to the one closest to the green (the one I hooked) hit the ground before the ball and it went about 10 feet, chipped it again and got it on the green, three putts and on to the next hole.
I left the other ball there, I was to tired to walk that far, besides it had already been in the water, at least I left it on dry land.
By this time I wished I had did what my friends did, stay home and have a nap.
