Was able to get out today and play, it has been gorgeous all week and of course today rain and thunder storms. We figured it would be okay and went out anyway. Well as we are getting out of the car it starts raining but nothing heavy. I realize that I had forgot a rain jacket but no worries I have my rain gloves (recommendation from a board member). The rain was light and we went straight to the 1st tee and went for it. Well the first hole on this course is a par 5 with trees down the right, water on the left, and fairway bunkers sitting right in the middle around 250. I went on to double this hole. Not a great start.

I put that away and started over. Hit a great tee shot down the middle and was left with 125 yards. Stuck the green and two putted for par. Okay feeling a little better now. Next hole par 3 over water 175 yards. I hit a 5 iron and aimed to the right to take bunkers out of play. Well to my surprise and not sure how, but I hit a great draw and leave it 10 feet from the hole. Made par and now I am only two over after 3.

I went on to hit every fairway and all the green's in regulation. I was feeling great. The rain was not bothering me at all. After we finished 9 we added it up and I shot...... 39 on the front. I pared 2-6 bogeyed 7 and then pared 8 and 9. I was beating everyone and was just hoping the rain would not get worse. Well it did. By the time we got to 14 it was pouring and there was starting to be standing water everywhere. The two guys I was playing with said they were calling it and going in but If I wanted to keep playing I should since I was playing so well. I really wanted to but with no one out there to attest to what I would have shot on the last 4 holes I went in with them.

I ended up shooting 5 over through 14 holes. It is the best I have ever played. Par was 71 for this course and I only had 4 more holes to play. Damn rain storm killed my round. If it was raining bad and your playing partners were going in would you stay out and finish if you were playing great?
