107

Upon reading the title of this post you are probably thinking to yourself, "What could that number possibly mean?" Well it could represent a number of things. How much I won playing poker at the casino saturday night, no thats not it. My high score for the week in fantasy football, no thats not it. The amount of KM i put on my brand new Envoy Denali this weekend, no its not that, I put more like 400 on. Maybe it's my score from the final tour stop at Thundering Waters on saturday, ding ding ding ding. You got it. A whopping 107 for 18 holes, 48 - 59. You might be saying to yourself now, "WOW, Harris really sucks at golf." Well that may be partly true, probably about 80% true, the course was ridiculously difficult. The course layout is phenominal, absolutly a beautiful course to look at. To play it is another story. With water on 16 of 18 holes, and bunkers everywhere you look that resemble the grand canyon, this course proved far to difficult for me. I probably could have played much better if we played it earlier in the year before Football started, actually probably not. This course was so hard it was not even that muc fun to play. Other than having a great playing partner is Jason Bergen, I would have killed myself just to get off the course, and I assure you i will never return and pay to get on.

So i finished 58th on the tour out of like 64 guys. I beat Bergen overall, but that doesn't say much since he played 6 times this year. I was hoping to be much stronger on the tour. However my game was not nearly as good as last year, and I have to get use to playing at a snails pace since every round on the tour this year took 5+ hours. Next year there is a qualifier at Penn Lakes in Fonthill which will be over the course of 2 days. I have played that course a million times so hopefully I can get my game together quick enough after the winter to play well in that and get back on the tour. I had a great time playing on it, got to play some nice courses for a cheap price, and met a lot of good guys.

On the fantasy front, I got killed this week by my cousin in one pool, and by Matt in the other. I can't beat Matt at anything and it's really starting to bother me. Matt kicks my ass in golf, he beat me last year in fantasy, and he always beats me in poker. Oh wait no he doesn't, I forgot about the 2H,4H i busted him with just a few weeks ago. None the less he beats me at everything I want to beat him at. I guess when your as old as matt it gives youa little edge over the young people. I'll get him eventually.

Actually, it's Matt's sweatervests that give him his power. That and spiky hair... which, by the way, for a man his age is quite... optimistic.

107? damn you do suck.
