Bad day...103 (net 78). 52 front, 51 back. I 'gotta start breaking 100 again.

Anyway, that was the first eighteen. I decided to play a third nine (walking in the heat, mind you) and around the 6th hole, I was getting a little woozy. Someone I was playing with (a doctor) kindly pointed out that I was showing the symptoms for minor heat stroke. Lovely. Anyway, a cart was sent out to take me back into the clubhouse. Water wasn't the problem. I was drinking plenty. Apparently, I didn't replace my electrolytes. So from now on, I'll bring a bag of pretzels onto the course so I don't sweat out all my energy. So, the heatstroke wasn't THAT bad. Once I got in the clubhouse, I just drank water and ate some pretzels for about 15 minutes and then I felt better...

Oh well...maybe next time I can get heatstroke for REAL!
