I invited my brother-in-law Mike to partner up again this year.  We were the reigning Bubba Shootout champions.  Mike came in with a 4 handicap and I was getting a stroke a hole.  Practice round went well.  Mike shot 78 and I had an 85.  We were 11 or 12 under par net ball.  Feeling pretty good about the weekend.  Didn’t get much gambling action as handicap has been falling but not fast enough to get many bets. 

Saturday Mike shot an 85 (ouch!) and I had an 88.  That put us in the clubhouse 80 net 64.  Good enough for middle of the pack in our flight.  Sunday we had a tough time getting it done.  Mike shot 78 or 79 and I had an ugly 94.  No money this year.  Had fun just didn’t finish the holes on Sunday and had trouble focusing due to the extremely slow play.  Never got a chance to get into a groove.
