Golf Recap

Well, I'd like to call this a first.

I had a tee time booked for this past Saturday, knowing full well that there was a strong chance of rain. Well, I got to the course and because of the mixture of rain and humidity without any wind, the whole course was covered in a thinck blanket of fog.
100 yards was all you could see in front of you. Needless to say, the course was closed until the fog cleared. On top of that, I found out that that was the last weekend that the course would be open. So, I headed over to the driving range and hit a couple of balls. After giving up on that course, I proceeded to head home. On the way, I found another course where the fog seemed to be less thick. I turned in and decided to play there. Things were going great. I was on my own and shooting well and I finished the first nine holes in just over an hour. The back nine was a different story. It slowed down right to a halt and the change in rhythm must have gotten to me. Thus, I played poorly on the back 9. The big rainfall didn't really hit until I was just finishing the 17th. Anyway, the whole day I was fighting my irons and pulling them. Anyway, hopefully, I'll be able to squeeze in a few more rounds before winter hits. I might be forced into playing only pitch-and-putt courses due to my budget.
