Golf milestones

I mentioned earlier that I have now played golf in all 12 months of the calendar year here at home in western NY.

Other golf milestones that I have accomplished:

Met a woman (and married) that loves to play golf as much (almost) as I do.

I had a hole-in-one in 1996.

I have shot even par twice (both times missing putts inside 10 feet to remain at 1 under...damn.

Played golf as an adult at a world class golf course (Oak Hill) and played my best (77). I am probably more proud of that than any other of my golf accomplishments.

I may think of more to add to this list...

Silly golf milestones

We all have them, yet we hate to admit to some of them. They are golf milestones. I completed one on Saturday. I have now played golf in Rochester in all 12 months of the year. I covered January a year or so ago and as of this past Saturday I have now played in February.

Mind you, we played in the wind and cold rain. But we did it. Saturday morning brought us sun and clouds and nearly 50 degrees. So I called my buddy and agreed to meet at 2 PM to play nine holes. Unfortunately as we started out it started to rain. Now, we could have quit, but we plugged along and made it through a quagmire of mud and rain.

When I played a few weeks ago the ground was dry and the course was very playable. Saturday was another thing all together... a muddy mess. Oh, well, we had a great time. I did not play as well this time around, but had about as much fun.

My guess is that we won't be playing again until April as we are bound to get the winter weather we have missed so far. That being said, we got 3 inches of snow overnight and the golf courses are again unplayable.
