I played golf this morning with my Dad at Butter Valley which is in Bally..about 20 miles south of where I live. They also have a landing strip so lots of planes fly in and out of there. We were paired up with a mother and son and the son is getting married to a girl I went to high school with. I recognized him from my 10 year reunion last year.
Conditions were very dry which made carrying the greens a challenge. I played O.K. and ended up playing mostly bogey golf on the front nine except for an 8 on a par 5. I also found the sand quite a bit as well. On the 10th hole I sprained my finger when I came down too steeply at the ball..the finder next to my pinkie. It's really sore right now. Otherwise my back nine was pretty solid an I played the three par 5's on the back nine one under par with a birdie and two pars. One of the par 5's measures 550 yards from the white tee's and I hit a great 280 yard drive and then my Dad stepped up and hit a 295 yard drive..not bad for a 60 year old. That drive was followed up with a 200 yard 5-iron to 70 yards and then a perfect wedge to about 7 feet which I missed but had an easy tap in par.
The weather was nice with temperatures in the low 60s to begin climbing into the low 80s. I ended up shooting a 48 front nine and a 46 back nine for a 94..My Dad shot a 95 and the people we were paired up with most likely shot over 105. My Dad is playing tomorrow up at Olde Homestead and I'm sleeping late.
