Well I had a short day at work today and one of my friends called me up and said, "hey dude, let's go play the Dam Nine at Arroyo Del Oso?" Those words sounded pretty good at the time. For one thing it was hotter than hell out there at 100F.

Anyway if my adventures in slowpitch softball have captured your curiosity about Curley's world, this will again make you roll your eyes. I've got a slice so bad that will turn a block of Spam into pate'. Instead of going to bed early and sulking, I'll tell you a little about it. Really, it's not that bad (if you're everybody else that is). I don't know if any of you have ever played golf. Cool sport to watch if you like watching paint dry but it is certainly a game of precision and if you suck like me, a game of beer drinking and hitting a little white ball around a grassy field and hopefully putting it into the hole. Sounds like high school all over again.

Well my golf game has alot of ups and downs and today was pretty damned low. I shot a 55 on the Dam 9. That means that if I played 18 my score could probably be 110 in regulation play. If you don't know golf, an 18 hole golf course has about 72 total swings per round. In this case, that would make my handicap at about 110-72 = 38. 38 = suckville. Well, this is my first time out swinging the clubs since last fall. No excuses. I'll let you know more when I play 18 on the brand new Sandia Casino golf course. There aren't any trees yet. Shit, I hope I survive. Rock on.

Update:

Well I played it. Horribly of course but man, what a course! I recommend this course if you are just out and want to play your better game because there seemed to be no pressure to keep up. Make sure you wear a wide brim hat because it'll be another 10 years before the trees begin to offer any shade to this well designed course.
