Well, the Ice Cube open ended in frustrating fashion. For some reason my driving, which is usually the best part of my game, left me. I hit only 2 fairways and didn't really hit a great drive until 18. My iron game picked up for it the most part but I ended up getting in trouble too often off the tee; 2 toppped drives, 3 that ended up under a tree and twice I had to try to hit over trees only to catch part of the tree and carom off into more trouble. Still, a couple shots here or there and I would have finished in the money at least. I ended up shooting an 86 (40/46), my 4th straight 86, and with a 15 handicap I ended up at even par 71, net.
The front 9 was pretty strange. I 3 putted for double bogey on 1, 3 putted for bogey on 2 and 3 putted for double on 6. I parred the other 6 holes, 5 of them by sinking a 1-putt.
Back 9, the 2 par 5's cost me. And again, it was the driver. Both drives left me in trouble and I ended up double bogeying both of them. Those 2 holes are usually my bread and butter but not Saturday. Oh well, there's always next year.
Yesterday I worked on my office. I got all the flooring down but it was a pain in the ass. Since I had already done the hall way, I needed to work backwards from the door into the room, which is opposite how the flooring should go down. Instead of locking the tongue into the groove, I had to do it in reverse. Made for a difficult time at best. I'll try to finish the trim tonight and maybe Tuesday I can get the room put back together again. I'll be very happy when this is over. Of course, there are still 20 things on the "honey-do" list...
Packers held on to win a tough defensive battle against the Redskins yesterday. The D really came through this time as the O struggled to do much of anything. Favre was picked off twice and really should have been picked off 5 times but the Redskins dropped the passes he threw to them several times. Charles Woodson came up with a big fumble recovery that he raced to the end zone with and Nick Barnett came up with a huge stop on 4th and 3 to seal the game.
The Badgers... um, well, uh... their D has been exposed and it's become obvious they were no where as good as the writers had initially predicted. Hello Alamo Bowl... maybe. Luckily they get Northern Illinois this week.
We leave for Vegas this Sunday. Won't be able to bet on the Packers since this is their bye week. I'll probably bet a few other games and the world series. Looks like the Rockies will not lose.
