Re: Old Timers Competition
Round 2 at Santa Clara Dunes. The greens were maybe a bit more forgiving but I did avoid what happened in the first round. A tough course but very enjoyable to play as are most of Dennis' designs.

Re: Old Timers Competition
Hi Guys,
I just watched Galen's Rd 2 and for a bit of fun I thought I'd watch it against Randy's Rd 2. I am so glad I did. These two fine gentlemen are on the same handicap, so I expected a tight tussle, and as you can see from their drives on the first hole, they weren't about to let me down.
Randy jumped off to a quick start and was two up after five, but consecutive birdies to Galen on 8 and 9 meant we were all square after nine holes. Galen birdied 10 as well, to take the lead, but this was short-lived, as Randy birdied 11 to square the match again.
Galen had an unfortunate lip-out on 13 which led to Randy taking the lead again, and a great approach on 14 saw Randy double his advantage. But, Galen wasn't finished yet. A really good putt on 16 brought the deficit back to one, and when he nailed his approach on 17 we were back to square, with it all to play for on the final hole.
Not surprisingly, they tied this hole to end the match all square. They even had identical scores for each nine. Now that's what I call a good match!
I believe they then adjourned to the bar and shouted each other a well earned beer.
Thanks lads, I love watching these recorded rounds.
Cheers
Brad

Re: Old Timers Competition
Round 3 on BigBird's Wetlands course. My swing erratic at times and I did get wet.

Re: Old Timers Competition
After tons of other golf rounds, I finally got my first round played on Santa Clara. Putting is really a challenge. Neat desert course.

Re: Old Timers Competition
Round 2. I really surprised myself on this one, thinking the greens were not straightforward. I think I putted one of my best games in the last year and a half.
By the way, today is my 56th birthday, so this was a gift to myself

Round four at the Wetlands. Too bad BigBird isn't around anymore.
