FWIW, I shot a 105 at Bristow Manor today. It's off my list. I lost nine
balls. Not a happy camper.


I have never shot that well. I only gave it up when I hurt my
shoulder, I enjoyed the game. I had a farm and I used to lose twenty
or more 25 cent shag balls a day. The practice didn't help much. Golf
balls don't effect a combine. They are built to handle small rocks.

Well that makes me feel better, I guess. I started the stupid game when I
turned 60. In eight months I'll be 65. I'd hoped to be shooting at least in
the low 90's regularly by then. Although I've had a few games in the high
80's, more than half in the 90's (this summer), I'm still frequently
disappointed with a game in the 100's. Today I shot another 105. But it was
a 'four club game' in the group. Tomorrow is a 'real' game. We'll see how
it goes.

Hell, it's about 4 1/2 miles of walking, so it's got to be good!
