88

Now I know you just have to wonder why the title is 88 and by no means of the imagination you would have to use. Yes, that is right 88, this was due to for the most part 7 out of 18 holes I scored a par. Now I cannot hardly believe this myself, if I wasn't writing in scores myself, I would of had to question it, but as I kept the score, that is what it is. And I even had my older friend with me today, with little conversation as he has lost one of his earring aids and can't hear very well even in the ear that still has one. So it was a sign language day for me, touching and pointing to a ball, handing him the right club and facing him in the right direction. I guess the wonder of it all, was not a soul was before us now behind us, it was like we were all along out there on the course, which is a real plus for me, not being under pressure from a group pushing us from behind, especially when my friend takes as many swings as he does to get to the green. But today I even scoped up his ball on the way to mine and threw his out somewhere close by.
The difficult part was to see how worse he is getting and that his golf shoes now mark up the greens a little as he shuffles along. But by the grace of God, we had as much time as we needed and I was relaxed in order to plan my own shoots which really came together for me this day. I am amazed that not only did I break 100, which only 10% of amateur do, I broke 90, That I just have to boost about. Will I ever repeat such a performance as that? Only the shadow knows!
