I was not sure where to post this so I figured I would usually lament this type of occurence in the clubhouse.

I played an 18 hole round yesterday...a rare occurence these days.

Beautiful day, temp in the mid-70s, with a brisk 10 mph breeze. In my usual masochistic vein I elected to play from the tips. 3 hours and 5 minutes later I had hit 12/14 fairways (5 of those tee shots were "crushed") and ALL 18 greens hit in regulation...2 par 5's in 2! as noteworthy as that is...for me...that is not the amazing story. I three putted an amazing 5 times...an all time worst...apart from say my first six months playing the game. It was a bizarre round. 3/5 of those were from 30+ feet...but my putting was as bad as my long game was good. The only round that I can compare it to was a 71 I shot at Tulsa Country Club in the '94 Ping Collegiate. On that occassion I hit...2 greens in regulation...both were par 5's. That day my putting was as good as my long game was shockingly bad!
