Been a while

Here we are in mid-June and the sweltering heat of summer has come upon us. I have played a fair amount of golf, but not as much as last year. My game is been somewhat psychotic in that I have had a few rounds that look good in the final tally but the front to back scoring looks like this: 46/36 = 82, 45/35 = 80, 46/35= 81. It s kind of frustrating when the end results are ok and you shot like crap for 9 holes and then lights out for the other nine.

On Friday however, I shot a 2 over 72 on a course that I used to belong to. I was so in control over where I wanted to hit the ball, where I hit the ball and what I needed to do if I missed. It was a nice feeling to be there again. I shot 79 on Saturday on a much more difficult course. I birdied the last hole to get there. I had botched #12-15 (double, bogie, bogie, bogie) on the back nine after playing very well on the front.

On Friday, I played with the 15 year old son of a tennis friend ours. She has been asking me to play with him to see if I could help him with his game. Well, this self taught kid birdies the first hole right out of the box and two putted the 7th for birdie to shoot 38 on the front and then he bogied the last 3 holes to end up at 79 for the day. I told his mother that he was fine and did not need my help. He had shot 76 the day before on a much more difficult course. I will play again with him soon, but I will not offer any advise. He does not need it. I asked him if he was going to play golf in high school next year, but he said no because his basketball is more important and the seasons run together.

I have not posted in a while, and hope to get back to this blog more often. We are going to northern NJ in two weeks for golf and tennis, I hope that I can post some good stuff here afterwords.
