Been A While...

It's been a while since I last posted anything.  Golf has been pretty good in the last year.  Recently I purchased new irons and got the Mizuno MP59's.  I finished T2 in the club championship and won the net division shooting 76-72 (14 bogeys in the tournament and lost by 2).  Prior to that I played in the USGA Public Links Qualifier and shot 81-74 with 4 double bogeys and a triple bogey.

Long story short, I have been playing pretty well and been consistent for the most part.

Commissioner Cup

Today I played in the finals of the 2010 Commissioner Cup.  I won!  I didn't play my best, but I only made two mistakes and luckily they didn't hurt me.  I was +1 during the match and ended up winning 4&3.  I finished off the match with a birdie on hole #6 at The Mill Course.

World Cup

The 2010 World Cup has been pretty exciting so far!  The USA made it out of pool play, but unfortunately was eliminated by Ghana in their first game of the round of 16.
Currently, there are 4 teams left, with Germany and Spain just claiming the last two spots today.  Uruguay plays The Netherlands on Tuesday and Spain plays Germany on Wednesday.  From the looks of the teams remaining, I would guess that the winner of the Spain vs. Germany game will end up being the 2010 World Cup champion.

Pro-Am #3

I played in my third Pro-Am of the year on June 28 at Western Hill Country Club in Cincinnati, OH.  I didn't play that bad although I could not make a birdie to save my life!  My hole by hole scores:

Hole 1: bogey
Hole 2: par
Hole 3: par
Hole 4: bogey
Hole 5: bogey
Holes 6-16: pars on each hole
Hole 17: triple bogey
Hole 18: par

finished with a 77 (+6).  the pro on my team finished with a 67 (-4) and ended up being the low pro of the day. 

I have played well lately, so hopefully it continues.

Pro-Am #2

My second Pro-Am of the year was in Dublin, OH at a course called Riviera Country Club.  It was a really nice course with extremely fast greens.  I didn't play too bad overall and ended up shooting 78 (42-36).  My team ended up shooting a 69 in a best ball format.  We didn't win anything this time, but it was a fun trip.

The next tournament for me is May 23 at Shawnee Lookout.  I'll update after that.

The bad thing is though...my Bushnell Rangefinder (like the one below) is no longer working properly.  It has been terrific the last three years, but I left it in the sun all day and I think that made the "Mode" button not work properly anymore.  That makes me upset a little, but it's not the end of the world.

Pro-Am

Today was the first Pro-Am of the year, played at Four Bridges Country Club, for me and my individual score didn't go too well.  As a team, we posted a 67 in a best-ball format, so that's not bad I don't think.  When we left, we were the clubhouse leaders, but there were still a lot of teams out and some really good players still to play.

Hopefully our 67 holds up for a while and we can possibly win a prize or something.  :)
