TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Very windy and chilly today but nice to get out. Shot a pathetic 108 but that was better than the first time out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 If all goes according to plan (fingers crossed and wood knocked on) by the end of this week the 93 year old, member owned golf course that I have been president of for the last 2 and a half years will be sold to a local person who will keep it a golf course. The new owner has a sports camp up the road and the course will enable him to increase his golf program and allow the course to remain a community asset. There have been many sleepless nights and heartburn inducing days as we’ve tried everything to keep it running and I know my already sketchy game has suffered because of the stress of running the place has put me under. The deal is scheduled to close Thursday and the new owner wants to open for play Saturday. We really did not expect to open for play this season so getting it ready for play is going to require a major push this week. For the first time in a while, I see a light at the end of the long, dark tunnel we’ve been traveling through. Maybe I can really begin to enjoy golf again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day...we will play, one day. Walked our course with the new owner and new pro today showing them around. Other than brutal wind and sub-40° temps, it was gorgeous. Unfortunately I am no longer in the position of being able to offer free golf to people or the invite would have been there.

If I hadn't been away from work most of today, the drive would not put me off. I enjoy road trips. Probably would gas up before I left, sanitized myself and then not stopped until I got to the course, waved at Runnaway from a socially acceptable distance, stayed an acceptable distance from him the entire round (mainly because my ball would be in the rough/woods/adjacent fairways most of the time) got back in my car drive straight home and then immediately hop in a tub of sanitizer, which would sting many areas. All in the name of fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a brutal response. A no thank you but appreciate you trying to get the golf AMWX crew out would have sufficed lol. I kid...I get it. Next time I’ll drive the 5 hours round trip in hopes that someone from EMA shows up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Yup...back to who I really am lol. Although this Pete Dye course was pretty tough. Still, 93 is meh. Swung it OK but putted terrible. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Played my first round today after not having swung a club since last season ended in October. It was like a spaghetti western, the good, the bad and the ugly. I ended the round with a 20’ putt to save par in 18 and ended up winning $7 or $8 on the day which is a good day with stakes we play for. The most important thing to come out of the day is that I didn’t hurt myself. That’s always a huge accomplishment for the first tome out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 First round in on Saturday at Belgrade Lakes. Normally my crap posture means I fat my shots early in the year, but my big miss was topped shots all day. 52 on the front then resorted to G&Ts and managed 3 pars on the back, actually 3 of the last 5.

Now that's a standard first round. I was thinning shots, not to point of topping them but I'm sure that's soon to come. Did anyone catch the Titleist Skins game from Seminole yesterday? It was ok. That Matt Wolff guy seemed pretty nervous playing with Fowler, McIlroy and D.J. on national TV. He has quite the swing. Seminole looked nice but it must be better in person to receive all the accolades it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Got out there again today, posted an 83. Struggled off the tee at times...if I can fix that part, my game would get to the next level. Came within a foot of my first ever ace on a par3 148yd with my precious 9iron. As is, I’m hovering around good but not great play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
