More Shanaginans

Pictures: a quiet corner on a Wednesday night and from #5 tee box earlier today.

Here's something that has surprised me these last few days: using borrowed clubs (from Dan Steiner and Derek Gilbertson), I've got an additional ten yards using their steel shafted 8 and 9 irons. Dan's clubs were Top Flite, Derek's King Cobra. That's a pleasant surprise - will have to see if that carries through to the other irons as well. Don't know the explanation, the physics, of it all.

On the Denson Outing at Country Oaks:

Played with Trenton Kidwell and Larry Hembree and we were joined by Steven Downey, Chris Bledsoe and Jeff Doyle. Each of us hit the ball both well and not so well, made some good decisions and some bad, got worn out with all the humidity, stopped play with the thunder and lightning and rain not once but twice and then finally called off the last part of the three part play, didn't win any money but did get a refund for the canceled part, went to Red Bones for pizza and found Michele Wie doing well on tv (but it was a tape of last year's ladies Open - which I didn't realize till much later that evening). For the Bird/Kidwell/Hembree team: Scramble 34 (30 was low score I believe); Alternate Shot 40 (34 was low score I believe). Did find out a little more about Trenton and Larry and Jeff when they are frustrated and tired, the three of them being a little bit better at letting their emotions show than the other three of us, or so it seemed to me.

So it goes...
