Fraudulent charges, +13 on two holes, 500bb pot

Hey guys, it's been an eventful couple of days.. so I figured I'd write a little bit about it while I have a few spare minutes.

On the night of the 28th, I found that my bank account had a charge that I didn't remember paying for. It was from an eCommerce processor "Plimus", and it had a phone number attached to the charge. I called the number and they were like "oh, yeah that doesn't look like you charged it at all, we will look into it, stay on hold." So I listened to some elevator music for about 5 minutes, and the lady comes back and says that they located the user that processed the charge and gave me his name. I hung up, not thinking much of it.. but I googled his name with the help of hockeyav and we found out that it probably WAS a real name and that the person we thought it was lived in Ohio.

I called back the Plimus company and asked if I could get more information on the guy. They gave me information and it matched the town that we found through google so I wrote down his vitals and saved it to notepad. I called the police and they said they'd get back to me in a couple days. They just called this afternoon and took all of his information and filed it as a felony theft report and are gonna have their detective bureau looking at it. I got the charge reversed and everything but I have to wait 7-10 business days on a new debit card so I have to go to the bank and withdraw money every time I have to buy something. Frustrating, but it could've ended a lot worse.

Yesterday, I went golfing with Derek and his dad and my buddy Andy. We played a different course that I never liked when I was in high school and somehow I ended up with not one, but TWO 11s (yes, ELEVEN) on my scorecard. Don't ask me how but 2-3 penalties per hole basically. I was 13 over on those two holes and ended +26 for the round, so I'm considering it a win, as it easily could've been a round in the 80s disregarding those. I think my game is getting back to where it was last year, which I'm happy about. Excited to get a few more rounds in and shake the rust off more.
