Flashes of brilliance at Willows

I don't mean this to be a golf journal, but since I have played 3 rounds in the past 5 days it is a current topic of my interest. Yesterday at Willows Run was quite a round, and I ended up with a 79 through 17 holes before darkness set in. That score included two birdies on the back 9, one of which came from a par 3 where I put a 7-iron shot within two feet of the hole.

I was playing with three guys from my spring softball team, and they wanted to play a skins game with some additional incentives on par 3 holes (first on, closest to the hole, etc). Long story short, that par 3 birdie paid for my round, heh.
