Just got home from playing a decent little nine hole course thats only about 5 years old. Took a good friend of mine out for his first ever time on a course, and we were the ONLY people on the course the entire time. Thankfully...
This course is not very long at just 3000 yards from the whites, slope of only 115, par 36 rated 34.9
1: Wind left to right stiff constant 15mph, so i hit a 4i that the wind took for a good solid ride just into the right rough. 6i somewhat into the wind from 150 pin high, three putt bogey
2: another three putt bogey after hitting the green on a 160yard par 3
3: says 487 par 5 plays so far up hill it plays more like 550, duffed my second, 3rd to 80, hit on and two put bogey.
4: 487 playing downhill but straight into the wind at the top of a hill it was really bad...so i hit a 3i as low as possible and it was still almost 300 out 5w to 100, wedge short of the green(i knew i should have went with a 9i) cihpped on, two putt bogey.
6: hit the green on a 187yard par 3 wind left to right, three putt bogey
7: another three putt bogey...ARGH
8: Here is my pride and joy...its a slight dogleg left, i hit driver right around the bend, but being directly into the wind i came up about 70 yards short on the 350ish par 4, i was in a gully but with a halfway decent lie.....hit my 56º, two hops and disapears! My very first holeout from off the green!!
9: first shot OB, second striped up the middle with about 110 to go, pitching wedge into the wind, leaves me about 10 feet...i sink it for bogey.
Overal, 8 bogeys, and 1 eagle, for a 43. Not bad for the first round of the season...No blow up holes at all(knocks on wood).
What i learned: I SUCK AT PUTTING. that is going to be my main focus this year. Tons of putting and short game.
Oh yeah, thanks for listening to my babble...
