Heading out...

Finally, first round since November. Taking my oldest to a ghetto muni....wish us luck.

Best of luck, focus on the golf, not the course

Good luck, I got rained out today.

I don't mind sprinkles, but this was a deluge.

bring a gun! one of my uncles favorite courses people get robbed on it all of the time since the projects are right on the back nine.

Here is the course, stay away http://www.stocktongov.com/golf/swenson.cfm

Fair weather golfer! I played in a deluge, maybe it was the same one?

We had fun....trying to teach a 12 year old BASIC swing mechanics is tough.
"bend your knees, left arm straight...turn your shoulders (over and over and over)"

He dialed in a few nice shots. and so did I.

forget about putting....the greens were a mess. Aerated in November....not sanded. It was like putting across the surface of the moon.

I can totally relate as I took my 12yr old to the range Friday night after work. It's funny as I can be so hipocritical; I'm standing there telling him to stay within himself and swing easy then I go and give everything I have into some wild ass shot...

hehehe. I get to outside golf and im just as far north if not northerner then you Good 'ol ocean. Also ill be going south within the next few months to see some U.s so ill get to golf down there too

Ahhh the 'ol ghetto muni. That's Triggs, right in the middle of the city. It's actually a nice course. I once had to move a 40 ounce Colt 45 bottle to punch out though. Funny how you show someone else something and then you are reminded to do it yourself. I showed a kid who kept sculling and chunking his irons the "hand's before clubhead". I had tried to hit a high fade 9i and showed him with a PW and stuck it to 2ft.

Well, the only person more stubborn than my son and I is my dad (55). My folks visited at Thanksgiving and I had both going at the same time!

Ha ! I got up at 8am, drove out to Gordon Lakes, had a nice breakfast, and was ready to pay for my tee time when it started pouring. They actually closed the course!

So I ended up at Wedges & Woods where they have a covered hitting area. I spent 4 hours there and hit 400 balls.
