So, I went out today to play my round. Went ok on the front nine, shot a mediocre 39 (lots of missed opportunities). Then right as we made the turn, thunder started moving in pretty hard, so we had to quit.

Its up to you now if you want me to just play the back nine now or restart a full 18, just let me know.

I would say just play the back 9.... Then I'll do likewise if I end up having the same problem (which is likely, living in Florida).

Well inofficially the score is in at 77, my friend accidentally took the scorecard with him Ill scan it once I get it.

124 is the number it seems

I wonder if now would be a good time to tell you I've played a round with a putter exactly once in my life before. I shot a 105 that day.

That was on a significantly easier course than this though. This will be close, but I still think I can break 120.

We are shooting for Friday at 3:30, btw.

Hehe well lets just say I was pretty sure you had done around that before. But well see how the course treats you Strategic hazard may make a course 1-2 shots tougher for regular golfers, but im counting on a 3-4 shot difference for you

We'll see.... I think I'll be ok, but it's certainly not a lock. I haven't even bought my new putter yet. I need to go get a $10 one at Wal-Mart (since I don't want to ruin my putter). Last time, the one I was using was fairly bent by the 15th hole, making things very interesting.... hence me insisting I get to bring an additional putter to put with this time around.

Usualy people can't even believe it when I tell them I shot a 105 with a putter. I have to say, that was one of my single greatest "sports" memories of my life. The bet I had then was that I couldn't break 180! I figured I'd shoot around 145 or so. My friends conceded the bet after my tshot on the third hole, but I decided to play it out anyway. I actually beat one of them that round!

For comparison sake, I think the best round I ever shot at that course was maybe an 89. I usualy shot in the mid 90s there.

At Baytree, where I will be playing this time around, I usually shoot in the high 90s or sadly, low 100s. One time, I actualy shot 2 over par on the back 9 (two lost balls) for a 38 - my single best 9 holes ever. Of course, I had shot a pathetic 53 going out, so I still ended up with a 91.

Win or lose, this is an awesome bet, and it's going to be a lot of fun!

Bought my new putter last night. $20 at Wal-Mart. It was the cheapest I could find.

Hoping to tee off around 3:00 today. I'll let you know how it goes.

My Prediction: 118.
