Sterling from the Tips

Played with a friend from the local bar for the first time (a 1.7 handicapper). I played mediocre at best, as did he. After a poor start, I ended with a pretty good back nine (42). I hope I played well enough for him to consider me a potential 4th whenever there is a spot. Probably not - but perhaps in a month or so I will be at that level...

Here are the stats

Notes: Snap hooked my drive. I never found the ball and just dropped one where I thought it should be rather than going back to the tee and hitting again. Lost ball is a stroke and distance situation so I added two penalty strokes.

Notes: This is the third time in a row I have pulled my 5 iron into the junk on this hole. Had to drop out of the lateral for a one stroke penalty. I don't know what it is with pulling it on this hole, it must be a visual thing, or the slant of the tee box?
