momma day

I've only put in about 9k hands this month which is pretty piss poor but I've been so busy with golf, going to the gym, getting ready for Vegas, helping people move out of their college houses, etc.

Golf results have also been unsatisfactory so far. I shot a 44 the first week out when we played best ball. The following week was my first match of the season. On one hole, I actually chunked the ball twice in a row so hard that my forearm started aching lol. On another hole, I was surprised to hit a decent drive and have about 160 in on a long par 4 only to yet again chunk my shot. The ball skidded fast towards the O.B. just to my left but I somehow managed to nail the base stand of a random bird house and it bounced back in. Man I run good. Needless to say, my opponent wasn't too thrilled with the course's choice of birdhouse location. I ended up tieing 6 holes, winning 3, and having the low net out of the foursome somehow with a 46 and remain undefeated in holes for the year.

Here are some of the bigger winners/losers/interesting hands from yesterdays session:
