Outing season is in full swing.

Outing season is in full swing.
I recently banned myself from playing golf, for conduct injurious to the game. My play has been maddeningly inconsistent. That’s right, even more inconsistent than always. I know what you are thinking. How the heck do you expect to be any good, if you are not going to practice? (Practice? We talking about practice?) Well, the fact is, I don’t expect to be good. I just don’t expect to be this bad.
I had to lift the ban on myself, because I had been long signed up for 3 outings, and I wasn’t about to leave my teammates one player short. I will be playing in 3 outings in an 8 day span, beginning last Friday. Last Friday was the Bar Association outing at Bellewood near Pottstown. Monday, Flag Day, was the Magisterial District Judges outing at Pinecrest, and this coming Saturday will be the “Pastor’s Masters” at Skippack. If my scramble team is going to be any good, I need to be, at worst, the third or fourth best player. Last Friday, we won, and I indeed was the third or fourth best player. Yesterday, we came in somewhere near the middle of the pack, but our best player was not good enough for us to compete with the many ringers around the field.
It will be fun to play at Skippack, which used to be my favorite course. I haven’t seen it in years, so it will be interesting to see what has changed.
If you would like to mention or promote your outings, please post to this blog! I’m still figuring out the technical side of this, so please bear with me.
