Yesterday I played golf with my dad and my boy.  After nine my boy went to his golf camp and my dad and I finished the 18.

I played a flawless front nine, with 8 pars and one birdie.  On the back I got to the 14th hole still at -1.  14 is a 440 yard uphill par four, the #1 handicap hole on that side.  There's a giant tree in the middle of the fairway.  You have the choice of threading it right or going to the fatter side left.  

I was feeling it so I bombed my driver right at the big tree and flew it over.  My ball came to rest 140 out, 300 yard drive uphill.  I had an uphill shot which I hit absolutely pure with a 9-iron.  The ball ended up about 3 feet below the pin with a slight break right to left.  I hit the putt pure and it entered the hole dead center with the perfect speed.

That was the most pure golf hole I've ever played without a doubt.  All three shots were perfect.  Through 14 holes I was -2 and had a mistake free round.

I made two mistakes after that and ended up shooting 73 after double bogeying the 18th hole.   That being said I feel like I'm knocking on the door of some rounds in the 60's.  Hopefully this Saturday at my local course's amateur will be one of them.
