Finally got out for the first time in 2012 on Wednesday. Played at Twin Oaks with the old man and two of his buddies.
And boy, did I get my butt kicked.
I'm pretty sure I didn't have a single decent tee shot with my 3 wood the entire day. I kept getting way ahead of myself, and the result would be a high push that landed in the next fairway. Started 8-7-7 on the first three holes and never really recovered. Only some solid iron play and putting kept me to a 92 - or a seven stroke loss to my 70-year old father. Lost by 9 and 12 strokes to the two other guys, none of whom I think ever hit a single drive more than 180 yards the entire day. But they weren't digging themselves out of bushes, other fairways, etc. all day.
In desperation, I pulled the driver on #18 and sent a line drive about 300 yards... into the wrong fairway.
And to think the amount of smack I had been talking all day.
