Golf at Monterra

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go golfing at Monterra which is the course owned by Blue Mountain. I figured my golfing would suck but I dressed appropriately so at least my appearance would suggest someone who could play the game. The tee time was 10:40 but somehow I got it in my head that I was late and so I rushed like mad and showed up for my tee time at 9:20. Oops, and believe it or not I was made quite happy that my arrival was at the incorrect time. Let me explain.
As I was walking through the parking lot an acquaintance pulled up and asked if he could join up with our threesome. I said I wasn't positive we were a threesome and continued on to the clubhouse. It was with great relief that in the clubhouse I realised I had arrived way too early. Normally this would have had me muttering "effing idiot" under my breath about myself but the reason I was happy was......the guy who wanted to join us is a total jerk, arrogant as they come, and cheap (dust flies when he opens his wallet). He's the kind of guy who shows up for dinner with shitty homemade wine and then drinks all your good stuff. Gladly I went back home to wait another hour.
Aaron and myself were teamed up with an older gentleman, Gerry, who was an OK golfer and a nice guy. Our only hard and fast rule for the day was if anyone scored a par on a hole we got to have a shot of tequila. Good rule if I do say so myself.
The course was in excellent condition and my golf game was as good as it has ever been. I was pretty good off the tee and my short game, in particular my chipping was fantastic. We played from the whites which was a mistake because the course is too short from them, especially the par 3's which are very low yardage, say 90 to 120 yards.
Considering I haven't played in almost 2 years it was hard to believe my golf would be that good. I shot a 94 which is far and away my best score ever there. I think one of the reasons for my good game is the fact that I have simplified my golf swing. One thing in particular I try to do now is to shorten my back swing. This results in less distance but my accuracy was much better and I still had some drives of around 240 yards. Aaron had a good game for himself as well so the day was a success.
I don't think yesterday's good round will turn me back into a golfer because there was still some good cursing and swearing going on. I haven't mellowed yet.
