7:30 tee time. Apparently, some of the other guys in our group felt the same way because only one other guy showed up.
The other golfer, who is four or five years older than me, is having some heart problems. He said he would just play nine holes before we teed off this morning.
I reached the first hole (par 5) in two, but missed my 15-foot eagle putt and wound up with a birdie. I had one other par on the front nine and finished with a 46.
Fortunately, I played considerably better on the back nine. I started out with a double bogey, but finished with a 42 for an 88. I completed my round at 10:00, so it only took 2.5 hours to play 18 holes.
By the way, I think my playing partner figured out what I have been doing wrong on my golf shots. He pointed out that I hit one off the toe. I then made it a point to avoid doing that and I played much better golf.
