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.

Nevada Bob's

went to the mall last night with the family and the Nevada Bob's Golf at Sportcheck opened up. They even had a net to hit the balls into. Didn't see anything I really liked or any great deals but it was nice to have somewhere in town i can go for golf stuff

one last round for the season

So after a month of parenting, working a second job and just enjoying life, i finally was able to do 9 holes today after work. Me, Blaine and Pam went to Scenic City (for the first time in a while as i had that pass). The golf wasn't great, my wrist is killing me, but it was a lot of fun. I was too passive with the irons...EVERYTHING was short...putts...irons...chips...something to keep in mind next year...i think i only had one chance for a par (which i missed). it was fun...course was in decent shape but some holes were really wet and some were really dry so it was hard to get a read for the greens...like i needed an excuse :) this is probably it for 2010 unless i win the million (please please please)

i think i had a good year even with having two young babies. my lack of golf through the month of august was solely because i decided to keep my second job as opposed to anything that the kids or jane did or didn't do.
