Hold onto your balls!

93

Crooked Creek was amazing! It's like a roller coaster course. Beautiful holes, amazing elevations on the back 9 especially. Just wonderful. Hit every drive except one on the fairway. Putted like shit, didn't even sink one long putt which so far I've been able to do at least once per round this year. Chipped like shit, ruined many really good chances to devour a hole with a stupid little 15 foot divot/shank. Enough with the negativity already! I am now consistently driving 300 yards which is really cool, have a lot more to work on, but it has been really "on" the last few rounds. Have been back on forth on trying different power, forms, draws, etc. but it really boils down to hitting the bejesus out of it works best for me. My woods were solid as a rock along with my brand new shiny M4 Cleveland Mashie hybrid I bought this week on sale for 60% off! Have been waiting a year for a hybrid and the wait was worth it because the thing is the perfect addition to my arsenal. I am finally not needing a club for the first time. Now what should I obsess about buying?

Golf with my Dad!

42

My parents flew in for a visit this weekend and my dad and I hit Falls Village on Cinco De Mayo. We didn't get a full round due to the heavvvvy rain we received , but were able to get in the the front 9 plus a few. Had pretty great day out there, was driving straight and long for the most part and even drove 2 solid 300 yarders on flat holes so they were legitimate bombs! Missed my eagle put on 7 but tapped in for my first birdie of the season. I erased all of my scores from last year since I am a very shitty golfer still and my handicap average this season is much higher than the scores from last spring. As of right now I am shooting 17.5 (FUUYUCK!) but am seeing improvement every week and still feel the world of single digits is very reachable with some nice rounds thrown in the mix. Even if not I really could care less because I am having so much fun "working" on my goal this season.
