Day 53 - 100 days, 100 courses (Sunday, May 5, 2019)
I’ve been talking about and thinking about this one for 52 days.
Our start was put on hold for a 3 1/2 hour rain delay but we finally got out there.
Rain scared people off because we never had anyone slowing us down or had anyone pushing us from behind.
Edgar and I started out making a big mistake. We planned on playing the whites but when our playing partners announced they were playing blues we went along.
The blue tees have a slope of 140! Are you kidding me?
Never had so much fun playing absolutely miserably! Every hole is gorgeous. Two tries to the Island green. First round over 100 on the tour. Shot a 101 and lost 4 balls. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.
