Pros v Amatuers

I think that's the issue with Tiger Woods golf. I set up a character for me, appropriately named "dad" and I picked him when we played last night. Delaney and I got Tia to play, Kendall declined, but we set up a 9 hole course at the Boston TPC. Tia had a female pro, Delaney stuck with Daughtery and I had my character.

As usual Delaney and Tia did well, and my character struggled. After dropping a few in the water again, Tia figured out that my character's confidence was low and I wouldn't hit as well as they did. Plus they had the All Play preview set up and I didn't, so I was handicapped. As a result I lost, but I did a respectable 46 on the front 9. About what I would really shoot, or used to be able to.

Delaney won, scoring 6 eagles, 2 birdies and a hole-in-one on a Par 3. Amazing. Tia was like 3 or 4 shots back, but close. A fun night.

This was after Kyle's play, where we actually had a good time. It was "Once Upon a Fairy Tale", it was short, 30 minutes, and good for kids. They made fun of some kids books with characters from the books on stage. Kyle was Chester the Cat from some book and dressed up like a cat. A good role for him and he played it well.
