Whoohooo I broke 100! (Golf) First round in 9 months
and after only 4 buckets of range balls and with a new $35 driver from Target (it's blue).

Saturday when the heat index was about 110. We played at a club where Slammin' Sammy Snead won the '49 PGA Championship.

One Birdie, two pars (I missed two par putts), 5 4's,5 6's, 3 7's :grr:, and an 8 on a par 5 that I hit one drive into the woods and another into the lake left absolutely blasted a 3 wood through a trap and near the green (pitch and two putt). On the last hole (par 3) I barely got the teeshot on the first cut, putted over a hill with a big right to left break and into a sandtrap that was about 6 feet wide and 3 feet deep-impossible. I chipped out back down the green and then sunk a fifty footer from about where I started.

I am feeling it now. I don't think I finished a whole beer on the course and gulped down 2 liters of water and a liter of Pedialyte (great stuff).Yesterday I just sat in front of the AC and today I feel like all my energy has been sucked out of me. Staying up 'til 2 AM Saturday night and getting hammered on the front porch with two of my best friends probably didn't help.

Hell yeah I'm back (relative to my old form).

1. Me, I Played Crappy This Weekend
Got to play 4 days. 84, 89, 86, 85. Two of those rounds were in a "tournament" of sorts. Was not a happy camper this weekend.

At least someone played well enough to be happy. Good for you!

3. Congrats!
For those of us who suck at golf but love the game anyway, shooting in the 90s is a badge of honor!

I can't even play golf with my hubby- he gets so frustrated with my play. Damn scratch golfer. :-)

4. Argh...a 90 for me!
Edited on Mon Jul-07-03 12:51 PM by GOPisEvil
Argh because I should have broken 90 with ease...

I've developed this nasty habit of snap hooks...I never used to hit those. :shrug:

On the plus side, I putted like a madman. :thumbsup:

Edit: Congrats - first round in 9 months and you post a birdie and break 100? Nice!

5. Yeah I putted well too
Thanks. My partners were telling me I was putting really well but I didn't really think so until the last putt.

Too freakin' hot again today.

6. This is why I make myself get up at the crack of dawn!
I'm finished by the time it gets REALLYHOT!!! I was done at 11 yesterday. :-)

I once went out to a Sleater-Kinney concert the night before a round of golf (tee time: 7:00am). I got about 3 hours sleep. First hole 180 par-3, uphill. My response? 3-iron right over the flag, drained the 15-footer for birdie. I should party before golf more often! :D
