Me and Dad did 9 at Scenic

me and dad went and did 9 holes at Scenic today. he got 3 birdies (which has got to be a modern day record for us). he hit the long ball good...two of the birdies were on par 5's...he's much better on long irons than i am, even using my own hybrid against me :) i played okay hit some good ones, hit some bad ones. driver was best club...putter was most inconsistent...need to get out more. oh well...maybe in september :)

jeez i'm doing this late

Last Wesnesday me and Dale went to Walkerton to play on the bull tour. I hit the ball further and more consistently with the driver and long irons than i have ever probably...my putting, chipping and short game were TERRIBLE. on #8, a 200 yard par 3 over water, i cracked it with my 3 wood, was a little left, hit a tree and rolled onto the green for a LONG birdie putt...i turned it into a 6. very slow greens, or maybe i just underputted but everything was short. dale hit a LOT of trees...had a great time, can't wait to go out again. Dale had a spare cart so he gave it to Dad, so can't wait to get playing the K106 tour on Thursdays in August with him

Golf golf golf

Me and Dale went golfing yesterday at Ainsdale golf just outside of where they camp in Kincardine. Previous attempts resulted in mother nature raining on us. We did 9 holes at 7:15 in the morning. It's a very nice course...straightforward layout e.g. you could see every flag from the tee on the front 9 except number 2. Number 2, you had to hit it over water, then out of a gulley, then up to the green. Interesting hole. I did okay but Dale was scorching. he had 3 or 4 GIRs i think. My putter was my best club, then my short irons, then my long irons, then by driver. I putted quite well. My driver...everything was to the right...i may have to crack out the Golf yoga again. A lot of fun though...next up is Walkerton with the bull tour on Wednesday

i think i actually won

me, dale, dad and Roland went out to play 9 at Scenic City this morning. I think I beat the pants off them...i only had 3 shots that went 5 feet or so (which was good). i chipped very well (two were good enough to tap in) and i only three putted twice (if memory serves). i was very happy with my play...i had two shots at pars and one at a birdie (which turned into a shot at par and turned into a bogey...one of my three putts). all in all it was a lot of fun...personalities meshed, etc etc. i'd like to do that again if possible.

happy Canada Day!

Lovely day for golf

got up this morning, it was about 10 degrees, raining on and off and oh yeah we were golfing

did my first 9 of the year at Scenic City. First tee I hit it pretty good, and it hit a tree just to the right of the tee and it went a total of -4 yards. the day got better from there. i only three putted once, i chipped unbelievably (i think i only missed 2 greens on my first attempt) and i ended up with a 54, including 9 on the first two holes. i really didn't get into that much trouble and my short game was really good. i was really happy with my 3-iron...it wasn't perfect but it was more good than it was bad(?)

i got a par on the 8th hole. good drive, second shot left me short of the green, third shot put it within 8 feet and i hit the put. i didn't have any other shots at par (i don't think) but my whole day was kinda like that. good day

Driving range...it's a start

went and did a little golf therapy tonight at scenic at the driving range. mother nature and other things have aligned themselves against me so i haven't been out golfing yet...going to a charity golf thing on Friday so i had to try and work out some of the rust. i took my 9 iron, brand new taylor-made 3 iron (thanks UB) and driver to the driving range. the 3 was all i hoped it would be but no more excuses...i really like my long iron. if i take my time and swing smoothly i should be okay on friday but i really have no expectations...and it's best ball...it will be nice to get out. if i missed, i missed to the right, which was an interesting development. fun fun fun...golf golf golf

2011 golf season is here!

Scenic City opened on April 1st so me and Chrystelle went to the driving range, and who did we run in to but Uncle Blaine with his new set of clubs. i bought a bucket and brought my 5 and 7. i swung the 5 like a driver with expected results, but did fairly well with my 7. my wrist is killing me which leads me to believe that i am curling my wrist when i swing. somethign to think about.
