First 9 of the year...

I played my first 9 holes of golf for the year this past Sunday. It was a picture perfect day. Warm, blue skies, light breeze. My playing partners were my Dad, Brother and my fried Kevin. No trips to the range, only a couple of practice swings and BAM! - off the tee with a nice 225 yard drive landing right in the fairway. Followed that up with a sweet 8 iron to the green (left myself plenty of green to work with, btw). Two putted my way to a par. The first of 4 pars for the day. Ended the round with a 10 over par 45! (beat the other 3 too!)

Dad was consistent as usual, but lacking some distance and irons were not on the usual deadly mark. My Brother did pretty well. When he keeps his head down, he has a really nice golf shot. It won't be long before he drops 10 strokes from every 9 and really gets going. Kevin apparently cannot hit a driver. Instead, he tees it up with a three iron. He has pretty good length and is usually dancing in the fairway.

Overall, it was a good time. The course is a 9-hole municipal course. Not difficult and flat. Perfect for practice. I want to make more of an effort this year to play 9 or 18 there each week.

Golf league starts Thursday…Stay Tuned.
