9 holes last Monday were entertaining. 45 F and a biting wind.
Skulled approach shot over green on 1 to make a double.
Hooked tee shot on 2 out of bounds.
Got frustrated, threw driver.
(we play everything as a lateral) Dropped, approach shot hit a tree. 4th shot came up 20 ft short. Made putt saving bogey.
Played even golf rest of way in. Putter got hot. Made everything from inside 10 ft.
It's amazing how 1 thing going right can turn it all around.
I keep having this conversation with my wife. If we sold our house tomorrow, we'd probably get a cash offer that would pay off all our debts and give us 20% to put down on next house......but her response is always the same "it took us a year and half to find this house. How long will it take to find the next one/where would we go?"
Played 34 holes last Friday at Green Meadow in Hudson, NH. Admittedly struggled with the putter. Happy tee to green. 75 (+5) on the Prairie in the morning. 37 (+1) on the Jungle front 9. Ran out of steam and fell apart on the final 7 holes on Jungle back 9.
First 9 holes of the year in the books. Tee to green was ok to decent. On the green....yikes! I had 6 three putts. I could not get green speed down at all. Only 1 putt I missed I would chalk up to green conditions. Had a 5' birdie putt right in the heart miss due to a bump. Did make two other birdies though. 43.
I'd like to revise to a D-. Just checked the ACIS data and seems Nashua CWSU only recorded 35.8" from 12/1 to 3/31 and only 2 warning events. Which feels right based on my disappointment during every storm.
One thing that boomers don't appreciate is the millenials are now in their 30s and 40s and are mid-career. I certainly don't disagree with the fact that the boomers had it way more easy off than we do, but I wish that they would learn the damn generations properly.
Drinking and golfing is like anything else. After the first two, you loosen up and probably play better as swing more freely. After the next two, you start losing skills. After the next two, you can't make a three footer.
