multiple choice
Choose only one:

A. Receive a $2.5 million dollar home, tax free and you have to putt slow, grainy greens for the rest of your life.

B. Sit on a porcupine, and you get to putt fast bent grass for the rest of your life.

C. Receive a free 2011 Bassmaster fishing boat, and you never get to play golf again.

I think the answer is obvious...

I choose B!

Seriously (which is difficult for me), Jeff played extremely well. Way to go Jeff! I thought the greens were impossible. I don't have anything in the bag for slow bermuda. I’d have to take a putting lesson from Jeff to keep from shooting 1000.

How anyone was able to putt those greens I haven't a clue. I borrowed a putter from Jeff for the next two rounds, and I was still terrible. I couldn't stand over a three footer and think that I could hit the hole. My 1 degree Bettinardi with grooves on the face made my ball look like a bowling ball rolling through hot tar. I lost interest quickly, having my putting handcuffed.

Last year, on the same course, I had 24 putts and shot 70. I have no idea how many feet faster they were rolling last year. When we returned later in the year to finish the rained-out tournament, I putted just as poorly on the over-seed. This year, I shoot 80, hitting 12 greens and playing with the same ball the entire time, with 37 putts. I have no idea how many decades ago I had 37 putts. Having 24 putts again would only be a 67. I'm still in shock.
