For the eleventh time in fourteen years, Larkin and I played in the Petersen Shootout [
2010,
2011,
2012,
2014,
2016,
2017,
2018,
2019 and
2021,
2022]. We missed 2013 when Rod kept moving the date around and it finally landed on a weekend when Sharon, Jack and I were in H@waii. In 2015, Larkin wasn't available. I signed up with Borja as my wingman, but when he canceled at the last minute, I bailed. In 2020, the original dates for the tournament were cancelled due to the pandemic. Rod ended up having a taking a smaller group in late July, but both Larkin and I were uncomfortable with the idea. For the second year in a row, Jack and Drew went with us!
Jack and Drew spent Thursday night at our house. The three of us rolled from Carmichael about 7:30 am. We rolled up to the Toiyabe Golf Club just afer 10 am [80 to 395].
Larkin and I played this course as part of this tournament in 2019.
Jack, Drew, Larkin and I teed off about 10:54 pm. For the first time since Larkin and I have been playing the tournament, it was a shamble on both Friday and Saturday. Jack was crushing the ball off tee. I struggled a little early, but settled down in the later holes and was striking the ball pretty well. Thanks to Jack's tee shots, I ended up with an 89. This is probably the lowest shamble score that I have ever carded.
After golf, we headed to the Carson Valley Inn. We had dinner at the
J.T. Basque Restaurant down street from the hotel.
Larkin and I ate there in 2018. I had lamb shoulder with the family style meal.
Larkin and I made a quick stop at Rod's suite after dinner. We all ended up crashing fairly early.
