Papago Relents; 39 Carded on Front Nine

A smooth 39 on the front this morning coupled with a routine 49 on the back gave me my second sub 90 round on Pappy in three weeks. Am I happy? You bet. You're always happy when your playing Pappy! Score could/should have been better save for lip out on 16 and a 5-wood on 10 that was one foot from glorious. As is the case with golf, that one foot from glory meant that I was in a bunker. I skulled my bunker shot over the green, chili-dipped my chip, and was down in two more for a double-bogey 7. On 8 my tee shot rolled past the hole and left me with a 10-footer for birdie. Of course, the birdie putt slid right just as it got to the hole for a tap-in par.

p.s. We played in front of the Papago Men's Club's Annual Tournament, which meant for diabolical pin placements.
