The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Six of us played a scramble yesterday morning with the team of Dave Wininger, Cory Rayhill and Curt Johnson outlasting the team of Mike Bird, Tracy Rayhill and Joe Allen.  With October being pretty much of a wash because of rain and cold, the rust on the golf clubs showed as each player took his turn in hitting both bad and ugly shots.  Still, there were some very good shots as well.  For instance, the putting expertise of Joe Allen and Curt Johnson, each of whom continually made the greens a one putt show over the first several holes.  Joe's first putt at one, a thirteen footer, saved par after several mishits by his team.  Joe continued finding a good shot here and there with a chip to an inch for a kick in par at three, a six foot birdie putt at four, and then an eight foot birdie putt at five that gave him and his team a brief one stroke lead.  That was wiped out by a Curt Johnson putt of six feet at six.  Dave Wininger then gave the other guys the lead for good by dropping in a twisting twenty footer for birdie at seven.  Great to be out playing and expect the nicer weather of the next several days will provide more opportunities for more of the good (much more), the bad, and the ugly.
