I walked and jogged the Sweetheart Loop this morning in 40:06, and, beginning at 11:38 a.m., played First Tee from the middle tees in 94, with nines of 50 and 44. I had 4 pars, 7 bogies, 6 doubles, and 1 triple. And, here's the key: I used 28 putts. TA DA! I had 9 one putts, and 2 three putts. I made a 33-footer for par on No. 13 (No. 4 the second time around), and an 11-footer for par on No. 3. I had a wonderful chipping day, so a number of those one-putts were from three feet or closer. I played the first seven holes in 12-over, and the last eleven holes in 10-over. The key to that change of fortune was a decision to put away all clubs longer than my seven-wood, starting with my tee-shot on No. 8 (I parred 13 with two seven-woods, an eight-iron, and the aforementioned bomb of a putt). All I have to do now is get Petey King to give me my driver back.
This evening I walked the 38th Street Loop in 31:08.
