Obviously we were having a good day - joking around, enjoying the sun, seeing the sights - but how was our game? Now why did you have to go and ruin it all by asking that? Holy crap do we suck.

Did I mention how many swings we took? Or that we hit our own golf cart? Perhaps we should elaborate on how exactly you can lose 5 balls on one hole, without ever leaving the teebox?

This last point is key. We started with 9 balls. We lost many of these. We found other balls along the way. We lost those too. So with 5 holes to go, we notice something bad - we only have 2 balls left (no bad jokes please). No problem, we're at a decent hole, a par 3 even.

To hit the tree I did in itself was amazing. I mean, I really had to come around on it. For it to bounce off, hit another tree, and then bounce back into the teebox was simply retarded. As soon as I hit it all Richard could think was, "shit, now we can't play the last 5 holes." When it came back, we couldn't stop laughing. It literally seemed to have reset itself about 5 feet in front of where I originally smacked it.

We actually finished out this hole well. I had my longest putt of the day to actually save bogey. Richard had the putt of the day early however, something like 25ft, it was retarded. The next hole was bizarre as well.

Again I shank the tee shot right into the woods. This time we find it though. Knowing that we have no other balls and we're gong with the 'play it where it lies' theory, I line up to swing. Except I can't as there's a tree limb on top of me.

Now Richard is standing behind me, holding up a tree and saying, "please, don't hit me with the club!" Which turned out to be harder than it sounded. I couldn't get a full backswing, as I didn't want to hit him, or the other tree in the way. The real problem though, was the follow through, which almost killed him.

This was on par for the course though as I almost sent him to the ground earlier by throwing a golf ball in the cart that ricocheted a bit and almost hit in let's say a bad spot. Now I've hit the ball 10 feet from the original mess, further into the woods and now almost lost it. We found that and Richard actually found another ball as well, so we have a safety.

We almost needed this safety on the next hole. I line drive the tee shot into the left woods again, somewhat shallow though and hearing it hit. We look in the woods for quite some time, finding nothing. Eventually he sees it - on the fairway. Apparently it bounced off. Odd.
