Y’all I can barely contain my excitement right now. I played a course today that I have played for years. It’s a very difficult course for me to the point I have NEVER been able to keep an accurate score. No joke, it would always get so ridiculous I’d just have to tear up the score card and pick it up after so many strokes over par on every hole. For the first time ever I was able to score it accurately. And folks I mean whenever that ball moved I counted it. No one foot gimmies, if it came to rest on a root I hit it off that root, if it went in the water I dropped and called a penalty, no foot wedges, and if I duffed a chip one foot I counted it as a stroke (and believe me there were a few of those). I even hacked one out that came to rest next to a sea wall. I didn’t stop counting until the ball went in the cup. I shot a 108, but it was an honest 108. The best part was, I used driver on 90% of the par fours, and on every par five (three months ago, I wouldn’t even take my driver out of my bag). I hit 90% of fairways and hit a few greens in regulation. I was absolutely MASHING my driver on the tee box and fairway woods off the deck. (Oh yeah, if you’ll notice the picture, I was able to make some pretty good bacon on the practice range before I teed off). What truly killed me was chipping and putting (too many duffed chips and four putts to count). But you better bet your sweet patooties my butt was on the practice green after my round. I CANNOT wait to play again, I feel like I’ve really turned a corner here. Oh yeah, I almost forgot..... I ONLY LOST ONE BALL!!! ONE BALL FOLKS..... That NEVER happens. Tom, THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH. There’s NO way this would be happening now if it weren’t for you. Once we get a few more things ironed out, I’m confident I’ll be shooting in the 80’s by the end of this summer. Some heroes don’t wear capes Some wear Up Gloves and Athalonz. 😁🤘🏻🏌️♂️
