golf in march!!!!

What a great beginning to the golf season! Me and Brüno went and did 9 holes at Scenic City today. We golfed in March! I can't believe it. This will be something to look back next year when we still have 6 inches of snow :) Chrystelle was going to come with us and we were going to go to Sauble but Chrystelle called in sick to work today and Scenic was closer so we went.

My best club was my driver by a mile. I hit it consistently good off the tee. Didn't even lose one ball, which has to be some kind of record, and my slice apparently has disappeared. Dad told me I with practice I would get it back :) My irons got better as i got warmed up, and my short game was TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE! My putting was decent. For the most part I got it within 5 feet of the hole on the first putt which is all you can hope for. I didn't even get mad. I only used the hybrid twice and the second hit wasn't half bad. my 9 iron and pitching wedge were terrible. my 5 iron, like i said, got better as the round went on.

i didn't even have one beer which i'm going to try to avoid this summer during golf. my buddy, Aaron, said that if i really want to get better i have to take it serious, and i am. i also want to shoot 100 one time this year. i worked it out and to shoot 100 you have to get a 5 on every hole (par 3s, 4s, and 5s) and then you can go over 5 10 times out of 18 and still get 100. that makes 100 sound more reasonable. something to shoot for (ha!) it was about 17 or 18 degrees and sunny...absolutely gorgeous. i may get out on Friday...i could've done 18 tonight but Brüno was getting tired, and I'll likely be sore anyways...

driving range

My good friend Clayton came into town with his wife and year-old daughter and we went up to Scenic and I dusted off my clubs and we went to the driving range. i took my 9 iron and my hybrid and i did okay with my 9 iron and was passable with the hybrid. i am going to try and use it every time out. I slowed down and I did okay. We will see what happens. It is going to rain/snow this weekend so I'm glad i made a point to get out.

The Winter Is Over!

Early start in Grey-Bruce

The golf season is officially under way in Grey-Bruce.

Scenic City Golf Course just east of Owen Sound opened in the afternoon of March 15 and Sauble Golf and Country Club near Sauble Beach opened today (March 16).

Both courses are offering unlimited play for $20 per person.

Scenic City's opening is believed to be a record for the area, eclipsing by one day the record set by the same club last year.

Both clubs say they will stay open as long as weather permits.
