first round since january 7... golfed with jon, joe, and jeff
birdie to bogey representing with marlon, jayv, ahj, and steve as the first group to tee off after a frost delay
weather was cold low 40s but sunny for the front 9 with some 15 mph wind gusts... got warmer in the 50s for the back 9... pretty good course conditions considering it is early March
highlights:
hole 3 - par 5 500 yards - i hit my 3rd shot out of the bunker for 140 yards with the 7 iron; that's rare for me... 4th shot chipped close enough for tap in par
hole 9 - par 4 336 yards - great chip gives me another tap in par
hole 15 - par 4 291 yards - hit a great drive dead straight almost reaching the green, it felt awesome
hole 16 - par 4 401 yards - had some trees in my way preventing a direct line to the pin... whipped out a 4 hybrid and did a half swing punch shot from about 120 yards away... kept it low... got it on the green 10 ft pin high
hole 17 - finally reaching the GIR on a par 3 150 yards away... 2 putt for par
lost only 1 ball
definitely very rusty - lots of shots not accurate... but still fun burning 1200+ calories walking 60 football fields
i wish i could play more often, but i'll probably get in only about 2 rounds per month this season... hopefully sneaking in some 9 hole twilight here and there
i miss golf
