Picture: Jim and Wilma displaying Jim's 18 hole score this morning, a 79, his best ever.
While playing some golf with Jim Bateman this morning, I noticed that he was not using his irons and made a comment. Jim said he hasn't been hitting his woods for some time now, can't hit them though he does still carry them around. I had joined Jim and Wilma after they had played the first nine of their eighteen holes and proceeded to bogey three of the first four holes while Jim, with his 100% iron play, had three pars and then a chip in birdie on #4. Hmmm, this guy is on fire. He went on to par number five after skirting the fence edge, avoiding an OB by inches. Reality caught up a little on number six for him with an OB shot from the fairway that ended up with a double bogey. Ok, so finish par-birdie-par and he has his first ever 35. Not to be though he did par #7, but then he went one over at #8 and missed a birdie on nine by another roll of the ball. Still a sterling 37, his best ever nine hole round; and that gave him a 79 for his eighteen, also his best ever. Note from Jim to Junior Byron: I beat Mike by several strokes. (He did, and using only his irons...)
Congratulations to Jim on his fine round. And also to Lorena for her big win in Britain. And also to Tiger who is up by six strokes through nine holes at Firestone. (Do we have a new Big Three here? Jim, Lorena and Tiger? Deserves thinking about...)
