Riverside

This weeks match was at Riverside Golf Club in Grand Prairie.  Today, we were the 4 Amigos minus Ed, who was at a financial seminar (where are your priorities?).  It was both cold and damp; yuk!  The heavy air meant the ball wasn't carrying or rolling like normal.  The greens were really rolling well.  Pretty fast for a damp day and in good condition.

Russell was ahead by 5 strokes after the front nine, however Joel came on like gangbusters.  He birdied 10 and 11 and we had an even match.  From then on, it was like two heavyweights fighting for the championship.  It looked like Russell had an opening on 18 when Joel put his 3rd shot in the water, but he hit a brilliant recovery shot to 2 inches.  Russell's chip to the green didn't make it, and Joel won by a stroke.

Here's a tidbit from the golf shop at Riverside.  Titleist has discontinued the NXT Extreme golf ball.  The NXT is the replacement for it.  They still make the NXT Tour and NXT DT roll as well as the PRO V1 and V1X.
