oilier My play on the is noteworthy for more tun The lie me so I w is forced to sit to pull and use the club like a pool cue Then kepi objecting when 1 used her ball like i cue bill to knock mine into the pocket kept I would putt arils it and it would move out of the way Thai was not he idiosyncrie iboul the course either I never knew you could pi so trees in such a ill area which is not to siy lint the holes were There were siens wh eh were supposed to tell you fir it is to next hole but they lied There was not one hole Ih is less than half mile lone Thats why i took me so lone to reach them In spite of these feel I played excellent round of Rolf How many people do you know who score i hole in one on Mil first hole they ever play I did Well maybe Would believe two How about It I really my the bill kepi rallinc down the hill into the woods I found out Saturday win those funny looking three leaved weeds were The doctor is it will up in few weeks if only mike it any osier to le

Liken few more sw shake our head a lot if il was a great shot you re not supposed to smile or jump The is even on the greens where you line up your putt with your club squatting down behind the bill then you check the wind factor the direction the truss is bending the moisture content of the ground the political situation in Swasiland before you step up to the bail lake a few practice swings step forward two inches wiggle the club a bit wiggle hebumabit wiggle And then swear etc It would be it lot more fun if you could just walk up to the ball and take stick that would be against the entire
