Pyramids 19 Oh boy that sucked

Last weekend I played in the Pyramids 19 tournament in Leicester MA. I wish I could report my great win there but I am afraid that it was not to be. I started on hole 2 and was pretty happy I got to play with Sean Breslin and Mike Dussault. Mike plays an amazing game and it was a pleasure just to see him throw, Sean is one of the nicest guys I have met in NEFA.
Play went decent but not great for me, my best at this course is a 63 on the long course and 59 on the short. On this day I was just bad. The long I can not complain too much about. I was within 5 of my best so no camplaints on that, shot a 67. Problem was I hit my hand really hard on a small tree on hole twelve and then my game was not the same. I was playing decent with the chance of really beating my best score but did not have anything below a four on a hole after my hand swelled up.
Round two continued the assault on my nerves, I played awful and finished the short course with a 68, ouch! This was so bad I really considered going home. My hand was a balloon, I was pissy but trying not to say anything out loud, and fading fast. When the event ended all I could think about was getting away from this place like it was the courses fault. I was a bit of a sore loser and feel bad about it now. It was just I have not played that poorly in the 3 years I have been doing tournaments.
