Anyone for Golf?
I am now a golf player, not just a learner. As mentioned before, I have been taking lessons here. Well, last weekend on Sunday Gordon suggested we try to play a round in late afternoon as it should be fairly quiet at that time so I would not be holding too many players up and starting a new phenomenon of golf rage! Hazel joined us, which was great as she hasn’t played for more than a year, so is actually about at my level right now, until she finds her golfing feet again. We had a great afternoon, and I was not too bad, a few good shots, plenty of bad ones, but only lost 1 ball!So, now I had a taste for it, I had to get some more. So Gordon and I have played again 2 evenings this week after work, and we actually got to finish all 18 holes, for the first time on Friday, as the previous times we had to call it off due to fading light. I had a score of 148, so plenty of room for improvement!
Today we played again, so now have a total of 4 games under my belt. Today’s game was with several others from Hewitt, so there were 8 of us altogether. We played Best Ball, or Texas Scramble as it is also called. Hazel joined us again and her and I had a good laugh as we drove around in the golf buggy chatting away, occasionally interrupting the gossip to hit a ball! Driving the buggy is almost the best part of the game, I wonder if we could get one at home?
Another golfing mention for this entry – we went to see the Nationwide Tournament yesterday which was being played locally, at Glenview golf club. Spent about 4 hours watching the play, which was very good, and it is helpful for my game, but eventually it got to the point where we could stand the searing heat and humidity of the day no longer, so we came home to seek refuge in the pool. Bliss!
So I have possibly over-dosed on golf in the past week!
