This round happened a little before the "Casino" tournament in Palm Springs that my retired friend is putting on. Coincidentally, he was the one that set up the tee time and got the other two in the foursome for this round. This game was also on a work day because 1)

I'm doing a little bit of time jumping. This round actually happened before the May tournament that I told you about last time. I drove out to Palm Springs on a work day because 1) Stupid work makes me take vacation days every month or else I lose them, 2)
