The flames on the first and second and on the eleventh and twelfth merge such that on my phone with a small screen, and perhaps still a bit blurry eyed earlier in the morning, I could only see ten candles, so the title was a complete “say what”. Having now seen it on the larger iPad screen, OK. Note to self, no photo appreciation on the phone.
Why “11 + 1”?
Very cool. I like it, a lot.
@MarkedMan: Because “12” is just sooooo yesterday?
@MarkedMan: It was supposed to be the shot of the day for the 11th, but I go ahead of myself and used 12 candles. So it was 11 (plus 1).

Despite our diffences, I am totally on board.
Golf is a decent game. Technical, tactical, strategic.
I grew up poor, in a crappy neighborhood, in a relatively rich school district. So I had a chip on my shoulder from day one.
Golf was fun and challenging. No one who knew me thought it was a good fit, but screw that. I enjoyed it.
