We started on 10. I parred it. Kiss of death. I had the worst round I’ve had in over a year and a half. Of course it was in the 50s, cloudy, damp and quite an ugly day…but a good day for golf. But that’s not my excuse because I like playing in this kind of weather. I offer no excuses.
I played like crap after the first hole, although I did do a tad better on the front nine.
Played a lot at the beach today as well. Did all right, but in far too many bunkers to be happy.
I brought my camera because the heron has been hanging around the pond on hole #4. It’s on the second fairway before the green. Last Monday, he was standing on the hill, stock still watching everyone play. He never moved a muscle. I figured as long as I was playing today, I’d take a shot of him close up. We got to the second fairway and there he was, standing in the pond. I was pulling out my camera to take a picture, but the gal who was driving was pissed off because she’d done horribly up to that point. She drove right by the pond and it scared him off before I could even get the camera out….so I missed another opportunity 
I did get some lovely pictures of the turning leaves. Fall has definitely arrived in Virginia. These are trees around the course. The fungus (mushroom) is growing out of a tree stump across the cart path from the ladies tees on hole 14.
There are three ways to improve your golf game: take lessons, practice constantly — or start cheating.
