End of the Bull Tour

Tonight I went golfing with Roland from work and we had a good time. I've never golfed with him before but it was quite enjoyable...he's a *lot* better than me and he basically golfs on one knee because he has had knee damage. It was a lot of fun. My drives were decent, I hit some good second shots, my chipping and putting were inconsistent and it got dark too fast ;) but i played better than i did on thursday and i definitely enjoyed myself. I had been hounding Roland to come out for at least a month and he finally did and I think he was glad he did. We did 1-5, then cut over and did 11-14, then cut back and did 6 and 7 and then did 18 so that's 12 holes which isn't so bad considering we started after 5pm...of course we did take a cart because of his knee. i'll have to bust out the Spongebob Square Pants glow in the dark golf balls next time :)

Total Holes : 210
Total Yardage : 66090
Pars : 7
Birdies : 1


if you told me before the season started that i would do over 200 holes, mostly 9 at a time i would have thought you were nuts. even if i don't get out again (which I'm sure i will) i had quite an enjoyable season and particularly liked the bull tour

out of semi-retirement :)

Today, for the last Mix 106 Golf Tour, me and Dad went to Sauble Golf and Country for an enjoyable 11 holes of golf. it was absolutely gorgeous out. I hit well off the tee, I chipped fairly well, I putted well, but I was not good with the irons...the rust was showing. I did get one par, I shanked it off the tee with my 9 iron and put it in the sand trap, then chipped it about 30 feet out of the sand trap to about a foot from the hole. Dad was definitely eating his wheaties...he played a lot better than me. We both ran out of gas after 9 and only ended up doing 11. Can't wait to get out again.

Warning to players at SGCC...be careful where you step! On the 9th hole we saw a family of four cats using the sand trap as a litter box...be warned :) We were playing behind one of the doctors from the hospital and Brad Underwood which was kinda cool :)

Total Holes : 198
Total Yardage : 62658
Pars : 7
Birdies : 1
