Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Augusta National Golf Club?

Ominous indeed.

I thought of a new Dart Game on the way home tonight. At least I don’t remember anyone else ever suggesting it before.

There are 20 numbers on a dart board, plus the bulls-eyes. Each number has an inner ring and and an outer ring worth 3X or 2X respectively. Take the scorecard from a golf course and shoot the par for each hole, 1 though 18. If par is 4 then shoot as many darts as it takes to make par. Do it in 2 darts with a pair of doubles, or a trip and a single, or four darts with four singles. Repeat for each hole . Fewest total of darts to reach par wins. In the event of a tie, go to the nineteenth hole. Most number of nineteens in three darts wins. If still tied, repeat with 20’s, then bulls, then double bulls.

Today was a busy golf day. It started with a lesson where the pro continued to explain that my swing is really good, I just need to work on the mechanics. And as he explains the mechanics, they make sense. I just have no kinesthetic sense and it takes a long time for me to get the feel for what I’m doing, and I don’t always know when I’m off until the ball starts flying wrong. Later that day I joined a work league for a nine hole scramble. Unfortunately the lessons hadn’t gelled and while I hit some great shots, I really messed up a few. But it’s coming along. A playing lesson tomorrow.
