63 in Memphis yesterday. Played 9 (recorded 9, played 11). Best score yet for 9 at my club, a 44 (I beat that once with a 43 on one side of an easy course). By my standards, a 44 is 6 under par for 9 holes (normal par being 36) .
Recorded a triple on #1 and on #9. In between 5 pars and 2 bogeys—unbelievable. And on #9, it is 230 (uphill) onto the right side of the fairway for the perfect approach on the hard dogleg; I put is 237 off the tee, PERFECT, got so excited, I topped the ball TWICE to get to the fringe in five (UGGG!). By all rights a 5 would have been good even with the good drive, so I basically threw away a 42, but I am still pretty darn happy with 5 pars and 2 bogeys in 9 holes.
Summer?
Heck it was 80+ here yesterday and 77 currently.
Winter? Bah – we have something like 2 weeks of it.
😀

It was subzero in Michigan on Moday and Tuesday. Right now it’s a balmy 18F. But with the windchill, it’s still subzero.
I’ve got a week’s break coming up at the end of this month, and I would absolutely kill to spend that in a warmer clime.
But not soon enough!
