Over the weekend Kim drug me out of the house to play a round of golf. We decided to play nine holes on the West Course at the Kennedy Golf Course. Upon arrival we were paired up with two others and headed off to the first hole. My first drive was perfectly down the middle, though not extremely far. I remembered to try not to kill the ball and that it might actually go straight. Kim also hit the ball well. I guess all of those golf outings she attends each summer really do help.

Though our drives continued to be mostly good, our second shots really suffered. I discovered that I still can’t hit the three wood straight. Kim also struggled with her fairway and rough shots. Fortunately the other two we were playing with also had their own problems from this range. Once we all finally made it onto the green, we then remembered how frustrating putting can be. I don’t think I had more than a triple putt, but I recall some others having four or more putts.

Despite all of the aggravation, I tried to keep the profanity and club throwing to a minimum. I tried to remember that it was just a game, and actually came away from it all having a fairly decent time. I would like to try playing at City Park sometime soon, though it may have to wait until next summer.
