So a couple of weeks ago I got the chance to go and play golf for the first time with just me and my youngest son.
We have played golf a few times together but there was usually someone else with us which was fun, too. Still, it was really fun to get to play with just us as a twosome.
It was a course we have played a couple of times, so that was good, too. We knew our way around and were remembering holes as we went. That usually went something like “Oh yeah, last time you hit into those trees.” or “Ah, you hit into the water here” 😉
We got off to a fantastic start. On the first tee I hit my tee shot about a putter’s length from the pin on a short Par 3. I was feeling like this was going to be a great round. The weather had been bad, but cleared off just before our tee time, and that tee shot was saying I was going to be hitting it well.
Ahn also played the who fairly well after an errant first shot from the tee, but he was laying near me and hitting 4.
I drilled that birdie.
Ahn double boggied, but still, not a bad start.
That was pretty much it for me for about 9 more holes. Boggy golf pretty much the rest of the way. I was putting for par on almost every green though, so at least I had a chance. Last time we played there I was working to save boggy and double boggy.
Here are a couple of photos I took of that first tee. Oh, and I blame my good friend Tim Carter for the bad round. The day before we went he and I were chatting online and he was telling me about his last outing where he had killed the first hole, parred the second and then started a round that included several snowmen… I hate you, Tim 😉
