3 Foot Putt

That's all that separated me from a 39 last night in golf league. And of course, I played it left edge to break right and it stayed straight. My only 3 putt of the night and ended up with a 40, which I'm still really happy with but I told everyone before I left work that I was going to shoot a 39. We played the back 9 at Door Creek.

I started out the night poorly, hitting a tree with my 2nd shot on the first hole and having to take a drop from under a tree on the 3rd hole but I managed to bogey those first 3 and felt pretty good about that.

I parred the 4th hole and bogeyed the 5th before parring the 6th and 7th. On the 8th I made a really nice flop shot from well right of the green (par 5) to get to 15 feet and made the putt for birdie. I knew I just needed a par on the last hole for 39 at that point. I hit a long drive that drew a little left just off the fairway. Hit a nice wedge to about 18 feet and thought I had the putt but it leaked a little left and caught the left edge of the cup but didn't fall, setting me up for the 3 foot par putt for 39. Everyone else had already putted and I saw a break in every one of them. Of course mine didn't and I knew I should have just taken the Erik approach and rammed it straight into the cup. Maybe it was the 4 beers I had while playing that made me think erroneously. Oh well.

I did win the low-net prize for the 2nd straight week ($10), a nice added bonus.

I'm feeling pretty good about my game right now. Playing 18 tomorrow at the Bridges after work and have a 2 man scramble with Dr. Mike at Door Creek on Saturday (Cdubya claims I did not tell her about this and was kind of pissy last night, but it's just her not listening).

And how about those Brewers?!?!?!? Unbelievable. They have a tough next month, we'll see how they look coming out of that.
