Hacking and Slashing

I decided to go golfing Friday afternoon since the weekend looked lousy (and it turned out to be the right choice as it rained all weekend long). I got paired up with 2 older IT guys that were terrible and a nice old gentleman with a powered cart. I didn't get a chance to warm up so I was a little tight. I ended up bombing my drive down the middle about 290, leaving myself about 50 yards to the hole. I then pulled out my sand wedge, hit it off the toe, into the weeds way right. Blasted it out of there into the bunker. Barely got out of the bunker, chipped short, 2 putted, double bogey. And that's how the entire day went. I had about 2 good wedge shots the entire round as I continued to crush every drive. I did manage to birdie the 4th and 5th holes but the rest of the day was a waste. Ended up shooting 97 (46-51). I was +9 after 3 holes before the back to back birdies.

Saturday was a lazy day, went to Barnes and Noble and bought a few books. Watched a couple movies (Dukes of Hazzard and King Kong).

Sunday I finally got around to working on the basement again. Got most of the hallway ceiling done. Still lots of work to do.

Then it was time for our hockey championship game. Going in I knew we wouldn't have the firepower we normally would. Our two best forwards were both out of town so I figured we would have to out work our opponent and have stellar goaltending. In warm ups I knew we weren't going to get the latter as our goalie was obviously struggling to find the puck.

The other team came out smoking and we were on our heals from the get go. We quickly fell behind and without those 2 guys we didn't really have a chance. We were down 4-0 by the 3rd period before we finally got on the board. Even that goal was lucky as I broke down the right side and took a slapshot that the goalie blocked and the rebound bounced off one of their defenseman into the goal. That ended up being the final score so no back to back championships for me. I'm looking forward to a break before summer league starts.

Golf league starts Wednesday, looks like rain... :(
