67

August 30 - On the 18th green at Lexington Golf Club with my good pal C.Barry at approximately 1030am, 3.5 hours after tee off.  I lined up a 20 foot birdie putt.  The read was uphill about a ball outside the right side of cup (back middle pin).  I looked at Chris and told him I needed this to set my new career low at LGC.  The amount of seconds it took me to pull back the putter was longer than any other putt that day.  The putt rolled with good speed, hit the break, and dropped in with about six inches of steam left in it!!  Slight fist pump and yes!  67!!  5 birdies and 1 bogey :)

It felt effortless.  I did make a few up and downs from the greenside rough or bunkers, however, I had putter in hand for birdies on 15 of the 18 holes.  I birdied #2, #7, #13, #16, and #18 and bogeyed #4 (3 putt). My nines were 34-33.  32 total putts.  It didn't feel lucky, it didn't feel like oh man I could have made this or that to shoot a few longer, it felt like this is how I can play around this course often.

We teed off bright and early, 715am on the first tee.  The weather conditions were fairly calm, starting to feel the fall air, reached the 70s by the end of the round.

Setting a new bar for myself is satisfying.  I will relish this score for a while.

Savor something in your life today for a minute (even if its just chewing that yummy steak a little slower)
