While doing the golf scores, Jack Fenelon noticed, and brought to my attention, that the course must have been pretty tough Thursday. Almost everyone’s game was off. None of the “A” flight players broke 90.
Ernie Baca was the only one to break 90. Almost half the field was over 100. Then there was hole #3/#12 where every time I putted from the lower edge and didn’t make it in the hole, the ball rolled back down. I’ve never seen anything like that. I also noticed that the ground was extra dry and hard. Maybe that was a factor.
On another note, Phil Youker and Chuck McLaughlin weren’t able to finish the round. Chuck became seriously ill and Phil drove him to the hospital. Last we heard, Chuck was being tended to in ER. Let’s keep him in our prayers. Hopefully he’s OK.
The top golfer of this week’s tournament was Ernie Baca with an 86 gross score and a 66 net. Way to go Ernie. You’ll have to show me your secret.
