HoodaThunk?

One of the new expenses of my time that I’ve been working on is the game of golf. I started last year and have made enough progress that I can reliably play with clients and not besmirch my company’s name. (So far.) Up here in Connecticut while on vacation, I decided I was definitely going to get in a game so I hit the local par-3 course.

Now, a par-3 course is pretty much what it sounds like. The holes are all designed and ranged to be done in 3 strokes per hole. That makes for a much faster round of golf than on a full-size course and it allows for most of us to concentrate on the short-to-midrange game. I only pulled out my driver twice today.

Which is not to be confused as having done really well. I scored a 90. On any of the other courses I’ve played that would be worth a bottle of Dom Perignon, 1990. Being a par-3 course, however, shooting par would give you a score of (18 holes x 3) 54. A 90 is just a tad over that. It’s not the worst you can do (that’s a 108) but it shows a need for a lotta work.

Still, like the man said, a bad day golfing is better than a good day at work. Me? I’ll take that 90, any time.
