ST. LOUIS — Last evening I walked for about 35 minutes over much of Busch Stadium, after losing $40 at Fairmount Park in Collinsville, Ill., and before watching the Cardinals defeat Philadelphia, 7-1.
Today, starting at about 1:15 p.m. Central, I jogged and walked the Levy Loop in 28:05. It is 95 degrees, with a RealFeel® of 105. This evening I might introduce my new Ben Hogan swing to the Fort Roots two-man, Wednesday night scramble.
It took me a few holes. A big, friendly guy named Jimmy and I scored a quadruple bogey on No. 9, our first hole at Fort Roots. I can't explain it. We played our last holes in five-over; so, the first hole in four-over, and the final eight in a total of five-over. Overall, I played well, and relative to my recent 62s at First Tee, fucking great. The highlight came on No. 7, the Par 5, when we played my 260-yard drive, my 6-iron from 150 to 15 feet right of the pin, and my eagle putt that missed by a foot.

They don't sell 30 packs here, but if they did, it would be about $48 for one.
