So, as some of you may know, I've been bugging the girl to golf with me. I really wanted her to play, and she finally after two years of nos, relented.
As an early Christmas gift, my I got her some starter clubs. Since she (good on her), felt that irons and short game were the most important part, we got her a really nice set of Adams. And pink, for her, of course. Anyway, I also got some of those Wilson Hope series for her woods, which I really liked because it supports breast cancer, just like my putter grip.
So yesterday and the day before we hit balls. She can really hit. For a beginner, never golfing before, her drives are about 125-150. Nothing impressive, but for her first few swings, and her being about 100 pounds and 5'2", I was impressed. She has a really solid shoulder turn, and a strong but quiet lower body. Sure, kinks need to be worked out, some major, some minor, but she's pretty good.
So I decide to see how her salt is. I take her to a shorter nine hole course, each par 4 is anywhere from 310-350. Two par 3s, one par 5. Well, a few shots really impressed me on her part. One, I told her about the bump and run which I had coached her before on. She just kind of la-di-daad it, and bam, about 6 inches from the cup. I was suprised. Another shot was about 40 out with her sandwedge, and she stuck it to about 3 feet! And I mean, she actually bloody stuck it!
On a par 35 9 holes, she shot 49. This was her first nine. I'm levelled. Really.
I had a decent day, but I just had to brag about my girl. I better watch out though.
