First Golf Match

Last Monday we had our first golf match. It was a conference match at Monroe Country Club. Monroe is the home course of Monroe, of course, and CATA. In conference matches all the teams in the conference play at the home course of whoever is hosting it that week. We play in groups of three based on what our average scores are. 6 players from each team participate in the match, the 4 lowest score are counted as your team's score. In our case we shot a 179 which consisted of two 42s, a 46, and a 49. I did not play well, so my score didn't count for our team.

The funny thing about me playing so badly is, one of my friends called it. Monday morning while in Mrs. Harris' Psychology Honors class, one of my friends, Austin, said I would play bad. He said, "I have a feeling you are going to shot a 52 today."

I said, "No way, I'm better than a 52, you know that!"

"I'm just sayin'" he replied.

Next thing I know I am sinking a 5 foot, bogey, putt on my last hole for lousy 52. Isn't that crazy. I told him to say next week, I am going to shoot a 40. He said, "I have to see what I feel, you feel like that day." I hope he is feeling pretty good on Monday, because I sure could use a low score next week. We'll see...

  1. Austin Hill? Is he predicting futures now?

    I don't know a 51 from a 38....lower the better?

    Writing:Don't forget to write out numbers ten and under. Never begin a sentence with a number number like you did with the number 6. Write out six.

  2. I guess he is. He told me I will shoot a 49 today. I hope I shoot a little lower but a 49 will do. And, to answer your other question, yes the lower the better. 36 is par on most courses, so the closer to 36 you are the better, you can of course shoot lower than that though.
