While on vacation I was all caught up in my own aura. Dealing with the In-Laws, finding new drinks and marveling at how, absolutely, long I can drive the golf ball, and how little snookie I get-even though this was our Anniversary vacation; all this being said I forgot to inform the 7 people that read this blog about the best G.D. golf shot I have ever seen...
Rogdog (pronounced Rauj-dog) was kicking my ass on the 1st Sunday on the course when we got to a par 3 on the front and he absolutely nails the ball. Wow good shot Rogdog, and I think nothig about it. I am focusing on my shot, his is on the green but probably rolled 6' past the hole. As we drive up to the hole, Rogdog says "Hmmm, looks better and better don't it?" I finally get a good look at his shot and start shouting "Holy SHIT!!!"
Honky mo-fo put a crater sized ball mark 6" from the hole and the ball released 4" toward the hole. He was right at 2" from a hole-in-one... Damn... Unbelieveable shot....
Later in the round, after seeing between 9-11 alligators ranging from 9' big mommas to 2' babies, Rogdog fades one into the trees before the dogleg right. You gonna punch out I say to Rog. Hell NO! was his response. "Get ready for the best GD golf shot you have ever seen Kevin, I am going thru these 8 trees and then going to bend it around the dogleg and land on the green 4' from the hole." (yeah right muthafuka) Dammit if he doesn't do it - exactly the way he said. Only, if I recall, it was about 6' from the hole. Damn impressive.
He shoots an 87, a personal best, and I gotta say I have only seen 2 or 3 better rounds in person.
My claim to fame is that when we played on Wednesday I broke 100 for the first time in a long time AND I was crushing my drives. One was at least 310 yards - thats what keeps you coming back.
PS. Rog - was this hommage enough for you? I can keep going if you would like...

That was adequate Kevin, although I have shot 84 before with Oliver Van Gundy. You did play well on Wednesday. How you outdrive me now is beyond me!
