golfing, salem golf club

Capitol City Amateur starts today at Salem Golf Club in Salem Oregon,

my tee time is at !:55 pm and hope to do well and hopefully i can get into the last group for Sunday.

They had a 'horse race' last night.

I won it and $170.

I was quite the challenge, started on #12 (the scene of my 'hole in one') one month ago.

The pin was down in front like before, but this time i hit on top of the green.

I 3 putted then we had a chip off with 8 players and only 4 moving to the next hole.

I chipped to 3 feet and got to go on.

Easy par on 13 to move on.

On 14 I hit a tree and had to punch out, which i did and got it to the 150 yard marker.

but, hey, it stopped on a branch and i couldn't move it, so I hit it on the greeen to 17 feet.

There was only five of us left with two moving on. I had to make that putt to get into another chip off.

Well, i made the putt and chipped off for two spots to go to the next hole.

I chipped it close and moved on.

Then we combined 4 other players from the other divisions and went to #16.

I popped up my drive, (the worst of the 6) then i hit into the sand trap.

I had a good lie and knocked to 6 feet but missed the putt.

But two guys had doubles so I move on to 17 with 4 of us.

got my par and had another chipp off, won that to go to 18 with one guy,

I nailed my drive and the other guy hit into the trees and had trouble getting out.

Then I hit my 3 wood perfect and onto the green for a eagle putt. Two putted for the win.

That was a lot of fun.

hope i can play well today,
