Too Pasty or Nice Unexpected Result?

[RancerDS]

Taking a shot overlooking a golf-green, had this unexpected effect when barely cutting out the sun. Yes, I should invest in a lens-hood or just throw up my left hand to help cover.

But wanted to get critical feedback on the distinct flare to the upper left and vague flares in lower right which seem to almost blend into the shot. This is an unedited scan from a 4x6 glossy print from 35mm film.

Should I rejoice in the serendipity or trash it?

I don't think the lens flare is a bad thing. Sometimes lens flare can be really nice and I think it adds to the photo in this circumstance. Except the photo seems kinda hazy or out of focus or something... not really sure what it is... is it caused by the lens flare??? I can't tell
