War Memorial Golf Course/Levy Trail 5K

Someone mowed the greens on the back nine at War Memorial Golf Course so that they were as fast or faster than any I have ever putted on. I played with John Czarnecki and Ed Pennington, and they were unlike anything in any of our experiences. I three putted five greens on the back and two on the front. For the round, I used 41 putts, which I believe is a new record by one. I scored an 89 and John 110. I had 2 pars, 9 bogies, 6 doubles, and 1 quadruple.
John said he noticed the temperature drop as looked at the total solar eclipse. He was also in Missouri, about fifty miles northwest of Farmington. That's something I failed to investigate. Giving no thought to it, I didn't notice any change. I'll check next time.
This evening I walked the Levy Trail 5K in 47:05. I went through three miles in 45:40. My legs felt better after having walked a round of golf than I can ever remember. I might try to run a bit in the morning.

OVERHEARD
"It do."
