    If I didn't choke the first time I would have put you out of this thing. I'm really bad in these pressure situation.

    Hmmm
    If you look at the tournament I have appeared on the wrong side. I wonder if it will crash out like last time.

    I saw that, I don't think it will matter, you're just the first to finish.

    Its odd, I play better in tournaments. I tend to not care enough when just playing, in a tournament i start paying attention... Looking at winds more carfully and stuff.

    Until you posted it up earlier, Dan, I never knew there were Wind Speed #s displayed. I just looked at the direction and general speed of the indicator dots to judge the wind speed.

    I think I'm jinxing myself. I play practice games until I get 2 in a row in the 30's and then I go straight into a tourney game. I'm sort of working the odds against myself because unless I'm on a hot streak I usually don't play 3 games in a row in the 30's because I'll have one or 2 bad holes that ruin it all. I should just go right in and play the tournament games. I am over thinking things.

    Not that it makes any difference, but I only played 1 of my 2 rounds, unless playing the game outside the tournament somehow counted...

    No you don't, it wouldn't have counted in the high scores. Before we had the last board wipe there had been several tournaments and I had set a snake record in one of them but it didn't get counted with the regular high scores and Mrs Albert continued to hold the trophy.

    I just had the best start I've ever had and ended up blowing it with two 4's and two 3's later in the game and only one more hole in one. :mad:

    After Hole 5 I thought I was on my way to a shot at the title.

    Dayum!

    Considering that a 38 is my personal best score yet, this one's gonna be hard to beat! Yikes! :eek:

    Not even close. I think I shot a 48, and hit water on about 9 different holes. *sigh*

    Sorry, I'm lagging. I'll get mine in today.

    I might JUST be able to beat 51...I've shot a lot of 40-somethings lately.

    Eliminated! :mad:

    I did manage to BARELY beat 51 and advance to round 2, where Leach's sub-par (:diacanu:) 38 was still sufficient to crush me like a Democrat's re-election hopes.

    Oof, 47. Sometimes the wind effects my shots, sometimes it don't. I found the water a LOT. :mad:
