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)


2010 Totals
Holes : 145
Yards : 46227
Pars : 2
Birdies : 1


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.

16 with Dale and Dad

Me, Dale and Dad went to Northern Dunes yesterday for a 7;32 tipoff time. I was terrible off the tee, which made for a lon day. My shots from 50 yards and in (including chipping) were the weakest part of my game. My 5 iron was good, my hybrid, 6 and 7 were decent. Rest not good. We had a lot of laughs...i think that may be my last trip to Northern Dunes this year...it's a tough course...i said partway through to Dad that I miss Scenic :)

Holes : 136
Yards : 43407
Pars : 2
Birdies : 1

another 9 at northern dunes

Played 9 more at Northern Dunes today with Roland. Golf was so-so, had some good conversation. I actually played pretty well. i got into some trouble with my chipping and my putting was bad, but all in all i played pretty good. consistently good with my driver and i gave my hybrid a chance. i had quite a few chances for pars...all of which i missed :) Hopefully going back on Friday with Dale and Dad
