Firstly Davids account of today! (BTW remember he's a PGA Pro!)
Got a cab from CSR at about 7.40am arriving at Magnolia about 8am ready for my 9am tee off. After paying and getting my rental clubs, which were Titleist and a Scottie Cameron putter, in the Pro shop I found Waldo and Andy. (DisneyLand_Mamas DH and Dad) We made our way to the putting green, overlooking the course, which was very misty after the previous nights storm. Coming out of the mist there was a group of birds which we found out were turkeys, I thought these were the only Turkeys I would see today, I didnt realise Id be playing with 3 of them for 5 hours
I noticed a cart with a set of clubs and a lot of boxes of golf balls, these turned out to be Tony (LLs DH) my playing partner! I thought he must be a good player to buy such expensive balls!!!!!
A fun time was had by all BUT
.
Upon finishing the 9th hole Waldo was convinced he knew the way to the 10th tee, he set off in totally the opposite direction to Tony and I only to have gone the wrong way! As we finished playing our shots Andy and Waldo reappeared making out theyd gone to find the bathroom, yeah of course
After about 5 holes a new rule was brought into play that the highest score that you were allowed to get on a hole was double the Par. This was a bit unfair on Tony on the 12th when he made the only Par (excluding me) and the other 2 lost 2 balls each on a par 3 and both declared theyd made 6s
Tonys greatest achievement was on the 18th when he found a ball in the rough, this enabled him to actually finish the round as hed lost the $60 worth of balls hed bought
Waldo put his bad golf down to the fact that he didnt have his trusty 7 wood, Tony preferred to hit into the water rather than on to the fairways and Andy well he just stood the wrong way round
Maybe it would have been better to play with the other Turkeys as they were the only birdies we saw all day
All thats been said though I cant wait for our rematch
