Day 45 - 100 days, 100 courses (Saturday, April 27, 2019)
This was the beginning of 9 days in Florida and my first visit to the panhandle.
We had a glorious day and I met up with 3 very nice guys from Sacramento. They were a hoot to play with. This is an annual outing for them and boy do they let go.
The course was beautiful and very playable. I was going along great and at #12 and I was thinking how amazing it was that I hadn’t lost a ball.
I then proceeded to lose one on each of the next 3 holes but managed to bogey all three. Shot an 87.
