Best 9 and Survivor

Our golf tournament was rained out Saturday (it's rained every day except Wednesday over the last week). Dr. Mike and I went and played anyway since the course was wide open and it wasn't even raining! We played 18 in about 3 hours walking and it never rained once. Actually, it was quite nice. I started off playing like crap, losing a ball 3 of the first 4 holes and shooting 50 on the front 9.
I made a slight change to my swing on my irons and it paid big dividends. Despite hitting only 2 fairways on the back 9 I shot a 38, 2 over par, my all time best 9 hole score. I wasn't driving well at all, constantly pull hooking or pushing my drives into the rough but I hit every iron dead nuts on and was all over the pin. In fact, if I had putted better I could have had a 35. I missed 2 birdie putts inside 5 feet and lipped out a par putt from 4 feet too. I ended up with 17 putts and 6 greens in regulation. I had 3 bogies, 5 pars and a birdie (2 foot putt).

Survivor finale was last night. Here's one thing I don't understand. Every immunity challenge the entire time was very challenging physicially. But, once again they get to the final challenge and it's a contest to see who can stand still the longest. How is that a challenge??? So, Danielle wins the challenge over the only 2 guys that had won one. She had no chance to win, no one liked her and she flip-flopped more times than a politician. She struggles with who to take and picks Aras, which was for sure not going to work. Her only chance was to pick Terry and hope that the old tribal alliance was in tact. Aras wins the million easily. Rest was pretty boring but Cirie did win a new Yukon, voted on by the fans, so that was cool.

That's it from the rainy midwest for today...
