Played two rounds of flip dubs with some friends yesterday. My aim was way off and couldn't hit a putt outside of 15'. My partner for the first round helped us win by three by canning an ace on #12. I was happy with the win but not too pleased with my "contributions". Final score was 50-53.
The second round I was playing against my former partner. He ends up skip-aceing #1 and then kept nailing 50-90' putts. They ended up scoring a 19 on the front nine. Meanwhile, I'm still playing poorly and we score a 28 on the front nine. Hole #12 was the turning point, my game picked up and we ended up only losing by four. We just couldn't make up nine throws in nine holes. I was happy that we got five throws back though. Final score was 48-52. At least we were under par for the rounds.
Prior to the start of the first round, my buddy that had two aces on the day, had said that he was going to ace before the wrist brace he was wearing (fractured wrist) was to be taken off. From my perspective, I don't know what's worse, him hitting two aces on the day, he's playing with a broken wrist, the fact that he called the ace, or that I still haven't recorded an ace. He's been playing the last few weeks with the brace and has been more accurate and consistent than ever before. I think he'll probably play with the brace from now on as it has helped him clean up his form a bit. So, in the end, I'm actually happy that he's becoming more competition for me.
