Today me and 3 other guys (Jae, Juan and Rob) met up for a full day of golf. It was gonna be a daunting task, playing 18 holes - since we had a rather late tee time at 4:30 pm. Ah well, the things people do to save a few bucks.
Well, all I can say about my game is that there is none...absolutely non-existent. Those par indicators for each hole was a joke. I suppose if I played more consistently and/or devoted more time to improve my swing, I might actually be decent. This was not to be, as I found myself consistently whiffing my swings, hitting grounders or severely hooking/slicing my drives. One time I almost decapitated Jae with my ball as I accidentally clipped it with the front end of my 5-wood. Juan yelled "ball" at the last minute and Jae ducked out of the way, though he was already maybe a foot from where the ball buzzed his head at his original position. Needless to say I switched to a different club afterwards...
Not having a driver of my own did not help matters either (it broke during a previous outing) - though Jae was gracious enough to lend me one of his. Still though, there is nothing like having one of my own. Seeing Jae's new driver had me dreaming of my future purchase...perhaps it can be an early Christmas present...we'll see.
Eventually we had to call it quits after 13 holes - it simply got way too dark to proceed any further. Overall, good times were had by all - though it was way too humid and sunny/hot. Good thing for sunscreen and the occasional watering hole to refuel after hours of sweating it out on the links. Definitely looking forward to the next outing - whenever it may be. Hopefully I will have obtained my new driver by then...
