Celebrating Jack's Birthday

Sharon organized a couple of foursomes to play at Ancil Hoffman for Jack's birthday. The group included Sharon, Jack, Larkin, the Gainsleys and the Coffins. Teeing off at 10:28 am, the Gainsleys started with the Coffins. I rode with Larkin, while Sharon rode with Jack. We switched up the foursomes at the 10th. Sharon and Jack went up with the Coffins, while Larkin and I were paired with the Gainsleys.

I had a horrible start with an eleven on the first hole; I have parred this hole the last two times that we have played it! I got very frustrated. I have got to back to the strategies outlined in Golf Is Not A Game of Perfect. While I feel like I am making progress on the driving range, I can't seem to translate that to the course. I ended up shooting 64 on the front nine.

Surprisingly, I settled down and played much better on the back nine. I ended up with a 53. I had an opportunity for par on 18, but just missed a long putt. I continue to work on pulling my hands back and in and keeping my right elbow closer to my side. Based on some feedback over the last couple of rounds, I need to focus on slowing down my swing when I am on the course.

After golf, we jumped in the pool. While we were hanging out at the pool, Drew and Carmen rolled up. They are spending the night.

Everyone stayed for dinner. I barbecued hamburgers for dinner. Sharon made a peach pie and a chocolate cake.
