Golf – Woeful handicap

With today’s update my handicap is now up to 18.3–worst in three years! And up from 15.1 in June of last year. I’m going to have to shoot some way better scores to get it moving down again.

$4.43 a gallon

Ouch! Last week I thought gas would be $5/gal. by July 4th. Hah! It might hit that price tomorrow. Today I filled up at $4.439. That’s up 7% in a week.

Spring in Washington

It’s a typical spring weather week: cool, mix of showers, clouds and an occasional peak at the sun. It’s great for the plants–everything is growing like crazy including the slugs. A big challenge is finding enough dry days to get the lawn cut.

Golf – First to Last

Well, no repeat of last year’s win in the Ron Lee Invitational Golf Tournament at Mt. Si. I finished dead last. My partner and I played so-so on Saturday and poorly today. I was cruising along with four pars on the front nine when I ran into a little bump: a big fat 10 on number 7. Oh and that 8 on hole 16. At least the weather was nice–by Northwest standards:. 60 degrees and overcast. There’s always next year.
