Played in a tournament with my Dad today. It was a 4 man scramble with 20 teams. It was beautiful weather for golf. Also, golfing this time of the year on the east coast can be breathtaking with the fall colors. But if you don't find the fairway, goodbye ball because the leaves make it impossible to find.
They had two holes for longest drive and another two for closest to the pin. I thought I'd take the LD contest on at least one of the holes. I played this course a week and a half ago and I four drives in the fairway over 300 yards. The crappy part is with the shotgun start we had to start with a LD hole and I pulled mine out of the fairway. Same with the next one. And then I couldn't find the green on the two CTP holes.
Such is my luck, the other two par 3s I nailed. One was the shot of the day. 226 yards to the front of the green. I hit my 5 wood to 3 feet for an easy birdie. And then we finished on a 166 yard par 3 where I parked the ball 4 feet from the hole.
The door prizes were pretty good. My dad was the only one in our foursome not to win something. I won a nice Walter Hagen stand bag, but I have a Maxfli stand bag I love so I traded it for a $40 gift card to another guy in our foursome who had an old crappy vinyl bag that is cracking and peeling. The other guy won 4 free rounds of golf at that course. I wish I won that won. It was a great time even though we sucked. We finished even. The winning team shot a 61.
