Friday came in cold and cloudy but as you can see Saturday went out warmer…I count five hands…where’s the sixth?
Anyway, The Friendship Cup was a blast. We played The Ocean Course Saturday and Osprey Point Sunday. In between we drank, laughed, and ate in huge quantities.
On Saturday my partner and I shot 68 on a very tough day at The Ocean Course and lead the field by one. We took alternate 4 or 5 hole naps but never at the same time. John played great on the back…39 with a triple on 18.
But since I only care about my own game , enough about him, let’s talk about moi’. I made a skin with a birdie on #1. It was epic. A 221 yard dive into a divot, then a kneecap high squibber to the front of the green. Can’t chip so putted it into the hole…it was moving approximately 40 mph when it hit the flag…cha-ching.
That evening we led the league in martinis and red wine consumption. We had a beautiful dinner at The Ocean Room…Blue Elephant ties in abundance…shot 74 Sunday…finished in the Top 10…barely.
Be that as it may, Audrey, a.k.a. Double O, and I enjoyed our off course time with all our friends.
