Golfing first!
So we played golf both yesterday and today. Yesterday I played very well (for me, at least!) But today, on the 15th hole, I got my first completely legitimate birdie on a par 4.
Not that anyone cares, but it started with an incredible drive that left me about 2 yards off the green. Then, my approach shot left me 3 feet from the hole. It wasn’t a gimme putt, but I pulled it off!
