It appears that failing to truncate my signature line, in the email I referred to in yesterdays post, did not produce any unexpected or unusual responses from anyone, when I arrived at the golf course.
Instead of worrying about that, I should have been worrying about my golf game, especially considering the fact, I had just taken a lesson on Wednesday.
Anyone who plays the game of golf, knows full well, the surest way to screw up a round of golf is to proceed it with a lesson.
It's not that lessons are bad, it's just trying to change old habits on the course, rather than on the range, only produces disastrous results, and I represented a perfect example of that yesterday. (I usually figure it takes me about two months before a lesson takes hold.)
I did manage to break 100 (shot a 99), but it took playing 4 over par for the last 7 holes to accomplish that. If you don't want to do the math, for the first 11 holes I was 24 over (par was 71 on this course). But even though I scored good on those final 7 holes, and except for a few good shots, I was not hitting the ball good. I just had a few lucky shots, and a few good putts along the way.
All I can say is, I'd better go practice some more! I've got another tournament next Sunday with the Eldorado mens club.

I actually considered quitting at the turn (after we finished the 9th hole). But I went on, and it eventually got better.
In other words, I just need a lot more practice.
