For decades, I have been golfing pretty terribly.  When I’m playing really well, I usually shoot in the low 40′s for a 9 hole round.  But I have never cracked the 40 mark – until yesterday.

Going into the last hole, I was only one over par.  If I got a par on the ninth, I would have finished with a 37, a score which I could play another 20 years and not match.  But, of course, I choked and put my drive in the water and double bogeyed the hole for the 39.  I finished with an 81 for the 18 hole round.

The moment was captured by my buddy Tom, who witnessed it all:

So now, after almost hitting a home run, I’m running out of things to achieve.  Sharing a bubble bath with Katherine Heigl is up next.
