Mini Golf and a 75

My wife and I were alone for a few days with our kids staying at my brothers house for a few days, so we decided to go play some miniature golf. I love mini golf. It's been a long time since we have been out and got to relax like that. There were no hole in ones, but a few close calls. I did manage to escape with a victory. After the mini golf, we went to the arcade for a few minutes. The first game we played was some skee ball. What a weird game, but I guess it was fun. But, Pop-A-Shot is were my true passion lies. At one point I even considered making my own pop-a-shot at home. I think my wife would pack up the kids and leave if I tried. I went to the machine with the best score on it. I love a challenge and I'm pretty damn good at it, so what the heck. The high game was 59. The first game I played I scored a 63. That earned me a free game and I scored 63 again. My arm was sore for about 20 minutes. Hey those weren't mini balls, they were like, almost regulation size. It was a fun night and I can't wait to do it again.

Saturday morning I had a tee time with some good buddies. We had a fivesome, which was pretty entertaining. I wasn't sure how things were going to go after I missed a one foot putt on number one for par and bogeyed number two. I turned it on after that. I went 3 over for the rest of the round and shot a 75. That is three shots better than my career low round. I was crazy. I sank two birdie putts that were each about 30-35 feet and another one from about 8 feet. After a round like that, you just want to keep playing. You don't always play good and when you do, you don't want it to end. I can't wait to play again this week.
