Drive For Show and Putt For Dough..and Learn Your Wedge

Rudy's drives were awesome, and he rolled in some long putts as well. The difference was in the wedge work over the course of 18 holes. As seen on the scorecard (still not as low as either once was or should be), there was a five stroke difference in our latest golf outing at Davis' Wildhorse Golf Course. 92-97

Rudy made a charge on the front after starting the round 10 over after the first 4 holes. He finished the side two over over the next five for a front side 48. He had an array of monsterous drives that helped his rally.

Meanwhile on the back nine, he lost his control and his temper with his wedge. A wedge that early in the round, he discussed the possibility of a trade with our friend and playing partner Andy Meggers. I, on the otherhand, try to stay consistent throughout the round. Relatively short drives, decent approaches, and trying not to screw it up with the putter which lead to a 44 on the back.

Rudy- 31
Armando- 35

Other Notes
One stroke separated all four players on the front nine. Andy Meggers shot a 47, while John (my father in law), Rudy, and I shot 48. Rudy's score may have been affected (positively or negatively) by the influence of a hot dog pre round and one at the turn. Trying to raise funding for a medical study on "Nitrates and the affects on the Golf game."

Had fun!
