Took a bit of a break when it was too hot to walk too.
Played 18 Sunday and 11 holes yesterday.
Greens got slow when the heat was on and left everything short.
They’re speeding back up a bit.
Suppose to play the Robert Trent Jones course @ Cornell this week as well akin a scramble tournament at The Pompey Club.
Won a nice prize last year in the same tournament (closest to the hole in 2 on a par 4).
The team captain said to put the team name on the card and we’d split the prize.
The prize turned out to be a 4 person Coleman tent. “Ya want me to cut it up in quarters?"
The team can borrow it whenever they want.
Should be fun to hack it around some different places.
 
Skulled 4 wedges yesterday & shot 89. Ugh.
Those wedge shots shoulda been EZ pars and possibly birdies. Instead were 3 doubles and a bogey.
They really take off but not in a good way.
Coulda been a contender.

Yep i KNOW the feeling , i modified my grip on that ugly round and things went south , skull skull , Kerplunk , splash
 
41-36 for 77 at The Bobby Jones Course @ Cornell from the senior tees except for the first. hole. Won $4.
21 putts on the front side.
Huge greens and no feel for putting them till the backside.
Made a long birdie putt on 10 and had no 3 putts on the back.
1st time this year driving a dang cart. Cornell’s a reciprocal and ya gotta pay for one. With it being warm & humid it was kinda nice.
We skipped the 17th hole and took pars as a huge storm looked like it was coming in and wanted to be done and inside if it was gonna hit.
Looked like the storm hit a bit farther north.
Cortland was hit pretty hard.

Smart move don't want to be on a course when lightening is around . Nice round too
 
The scramble at The Pompey Club was fun on a beautiful morning on top of the hill.
Shot dang 55 with the only pars coming on 3 par 3s.
We made 2 eagles and had putts for eagles on a lot more holes.
Won the tourney by 5 and had 2 of the 7 skins out.
The other players on the team hit the shit out of the ball and are really good golfers.
