54 Holes Three Days in a Row!

Feb 18th, 19th and 20th!  And still not caught up to pre-vacation pace!  The weather makes it hard not to just keep going (and going).

First round of the day can be done in roughly 2 hours, if get first tee-time or close.  Second round under three hours.

What is hard is when the 3rd round of the day takes longer than the other two combined!

It has happened 🙂

February 14-15th

Behind pace no with the vacation, and the weather is cooperating nicely.  54 holes each of the last 2 days.  The old feet feel like there were never any days just relaxing on the beach.   Thank goodness valentine’s can be supportive of golf records and play together on such a beautiful day.  Joy walked an entire 18 out of solidarity!

Thank goodness for Mr Epsom and those salts.  Sore muscles + sore feet = Jacuzzi

Hitting the Course After No Sleep!

The overnight flight from Maui gave us another whole day in the pool cabana, but the “change of equipment” on our flight left us with different seats than we had expected (or had boarding passes for)!  Consequently, not the sleep we had hoped to get.

Landed at 12:30 and on the course in time to get in 18 before dark!  Back in the saddle again…

How Much Golf in Hawaii?

It is February 1st and we are off to Hawaii until the 12th.  Going to stay at 75 rounds and having walked about a third of the miles between our house in Connecticut and our house in Austin.  Planning on not playing any golf while there.  Several people have questioned whether this is even possible!

The feet (especially one foot in particular) need the rest and so… maybe a completely golf free vacation!  Anyone want to weigh in on whether you believe Barry can go zero-golf for 12 days?

Played 63 holes with the same golf ball, affectionately known as “Titie 3” (pronounced tie-tee for the uninitiated).  It is a found ball with a Lexus Logo, if anyone is missing one!

63 holes helps with the pace significantly, but the feet are hurting…..  That would be 17.5 rounds ahead of pace!

The weather has been so nice that it has been difficult not to go hard and get ahead of “pace”.

The numbers explain the foot aches:

2802 Strokes     105.9 Hours     35 Rounds   630 Holes Walked      258.85 Miles     18.5 Miles Avg/Day
