I know most of you aren’t participating in the heater that I’ve been running on, so have fun sitting on the sidelines.

This takes me to a round of golf I played recently at Broad Run. Hole #13 is 171 yards and the right hand portion of the green is surrounded by water.

On the prior hole I was asking Adam if he thought that being a smarter golfer would lead to lower scores. The thought process being that riskier shots have a greater chance of going south. On my prior shot on a par 5 after hitting a nice drive, I sliced a 3 wood 50 yards out of bounds and preceded to 4 putt.

Hole 13 allows you to play it safe to the left side or go for the pin. You guessed it, I took out my 7 iron and lambasted a high arcing shot towards the flag. Distance was tough to judge as the ball was in air only to come down 2 feet in front of the flag and bounce to about 2 feet. I made the birdie and now have this blog post because of it. Adam missed his 50 foot birdie putt by a cup outside which would have been cool too.

Hole in one’s are rare. I’ve had many runs at them and they don’t seem to drop very often. Would have been cool.
