My best round ever?
I believe it was the summer of 76. Bi-centennial on everyone's mind. A hot, humid summer at the Elks/Hillsview Country Club in Pierre, SD. Curt Byrum, Scott Hofer and myself had pretty much finished the day of golf. We decide to play 1, 2, 3 and nine before we drive the 28 miles back to Onida. For some reason I made the comment... well, if I am three under after three holes, we are gonna play the whole front nine. We tee off and I hit my drive into the fairway grass bunker. 180 yards out, I almost sink a five iron, leaving it a foot from the cup. Number two is an easy par five, and I am 20 yards out in two. A chip and a putt, and birdie number two? I blade my wedge, and leave myself a 60 foot plus foot for birdie, and the drop is at least three feet. You could sit there all day long, and never make this putt. I made it. Geesh! Two under after two. Number three is the number one handicap hole on the course, a long par four. I hit a drive into the rough, and have a three iron to the green. I knock it twelve feet away, and bam, birdie number three. We played the rest of the front nine, and on number nine, a short par four, I am twenty yards out after my drive. I chilly dip my chip ten yards. My next chip rests three feet from the hole. And it breaks about eighteen inches. I nervously make the putt for a par. A 32, as number six, normally a par four has flooding, and is playing as a par 3. Possibly my best round ever, and certainly one to remember!
