Is it spring time yet?

I'm starting to get tired of all the snow and cold weather hanging around. I'm ready for spring time to get here so I can be outside for an extended period of time and not be frozen to the core...

Winner

The golf outing went as planned. We ended up winning the outing on a scorecard playoff, shooting 14 under. For the win, we got a trip to Myrtle Beach for 4 people. Each person gets 2 rounds of golf and 2 breakfasts (3 days/2 nights).

Golf league this week went pretty good as well. I bogeyed the last hole for the second straight week to shoot 37 (same as last week)...but...I got a skin worth $75.

All in all, a good week of golf so far...

Golf League Update + Tournamlent

I have played 4 weeks so far and haven't played bad yet, really. I have two 38's and two 36's...have won $77 in skin money, almost a fifth of what I paid to get into league. Unfortunately, our team record is 2-2. I was right on the handicap situation. Having to give a lot of strokes each week is coming back to bite us. Oh well though, as long as I keep playing well, I will be happy.

I played in a tournament yesterday, but didn't fare too well. My dad and I struggled to get anything going, getting our first birdie on hole #15. When we left, we were in third place, but I don't think we ended up there. There were a few teams still out, and I know who some of the players are and they probably finished better.

Big golf outing this weekend. Winner of this 4-person scramble gets a golf trip to Myrtle Beach for 3 days and 2 nights. Each player also gets 2 18-hole rounds of golf for free. I won this two years ago, so hopefully I can again!

I'll update after this week's activities.

2009 Golf League

So this year's league starts next week and I have a different partner this year. I honestly think we have the best team in the league, but since it is handicapped, I have a funny feeling that we are going to get beat due to the number of strokes we will have to give the other teams.

Anyhow...I thought I would write since I haven't in a while.

Winner Winner

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! That is what I have been saying the last couple days of golf. On Friday, I won a raffle (after playing in the WEBN Frog Open at Walden Ponds) that gave me 2 tickets to each of the last 4 UC football games this year. Then, on Saturday, I won a golf outing that gave me a round trip airline ticket to anywhere in the continental US. I can't wait for the next event!

Golf Round

I have been struggling for a while now. I just can't get the club to point at the target consistently at the top of the backswing. It is laid off always.

The first 9-holes was an absolute nightmare. I didn't have any pars and shot 45. Something must have clicked on #17 though. I made birdie on that hole and started to turn things around.

The second 9-holes was much better. I had 3 birdies and a bogey, shooting 34 for a total of 79. If someone would have told me I was going to shoot 79 today like that, I probably would have laughed at them. It was just such and up and down day.

Club Championship

So the Club Championship is this weekend and I am hitting the ball like garbage. I am going to have to get some work in beforehand just so I don't embarrass myself. Hopefully I will play well enough to win something this time. The last three years, I haven't won any prizes. I'll update after the day one (Saturday).
