Great Round of Golf Today

I played my best round of golf ever today at Countryside.    In general, my drives were straight and true, except for that encounter I had with the apartments on #2  (sorry about the sliding glass door:).  I also had a bit of a problem with the interstate on #4.  I hope I didn't cause any car damage,  but it looked to me like the ball bounced cleanly once in the eastbound and once in the westbound lanes without hitting any cars.

On # 6,  I placed the ball within two feet of the cup and sand the birdie putt.  I love that hole.  #7 also offered me a rare birdie.  After a solid drive,  I managed to roll the ball to the fringe on my second shot and chip it close for my third.  

#12 was memorable.  I drove the mounds and rolled it dead center halfway down the hill.  Then I stuck the tiny green on my second shot.  Somehow, miraculously,  I sank the 20 feet putt for an eagle.

The rest of the round was unremarkable except for when I fed the snapping turtles on the 16th.  The course seems to be holding together pretty well considering.  The greens are a bit slow and the t-boxes are a bit rough.  I didn't see anyone else out there today.  I guess that's not that unusual for a hot afternoon.
