weather: hazy hot humid high 80's felt like high 90's not much wind
course conditions: super fast
other golfers: co-worker Sam, 2 walk-ons Matt and Max
It felt great to get out again! My co-worker booked a 9am tee time. First time playing with Sam who is a 25 handi - the dude can smash the ball from the tee with his brand new Rocketballz set. Also does this knock-down type swing on every approach shot which gives him a lower trajectory but more control. This guy Matt KILLS the ball... he hit his 3 wood 280 yards, 'nuff said. Max was this tall Russian guy that played and looked like a pro... it was fun watching his drawing ball flight on EVERY ball. impressive...
I was thrilled to break 100 at a difficult course (albeit from the whites), especially since I don't play much nowadays. My tee shots with both driver and 3 wood were working today, and when i missed fairways they weren't by much. I only lost ONE BALL! AWESOME! What killed me were my approach shots and my putter. not 1 GIR oh well, I did have 2 nice up and downs for par on the 4th and 8th holes... pretty much my highlights of the day...
only one par 5 the whole course, and that's the 1st hole... I usually score well on par 5s since I always play it "safe" NO FAIR! lol
