Kim and I played our first round of golf yesterday after work. She has a big outing at Sawgrass next week and she wanted to get in some extra practice. We’ve been to the driving range a few times, but this was the first time for us to work on our short game too. Since we didn’t get started until around 6, we decided to just play 9 holes at the Family Sports Center.
The course was actually in pretty good shape, especially for a nine hole course. Another bonus was that it only cost us $11 each. The cashier gave us the twilight discount! It started off a little rough for me as I watched my first drive roll into a bunker. Once we finally got back into the groove we played pretty well. My short game has gotten pretty good. I had problems with hitting my irons over the greens a bunch of times. My shots were also slicing pretty often. I hope I’m just a little rusty. I did get par on one hole and almost had a birdie, but blew it on my approach shot. The most important thing is that I actually enjoyed playing yesterday.
I’m glad to hear that you are getting better than our outing last year…..do you remember how many times we all missed the ball?
If I remember correctly, you and Kim accounted for most of the misses. Although I will admit that I had one or two of my own. I’m proud to report that I had no whiffs yesterday. I’m not sure I can say the same for Kim.
Whiffs?? I did NOT whiff!
I thought you did once. In one of the sand traps?
