I got the 1st double of the year outta the way by the time I walked off the 1st green :( and then got the 1st and 2nd birdies of the year by the time I walked off the 3rd green! :)

After not having picked up a club since the 2nd week of November, I can't complain about the 1st round of the year at all! Some rust on the golf machine, sure, but there was a bunch of decent swings too! :)

New driver coming in today. I'll be getting my 20 bucks and then some back this weekend!!!

Once you probably spend the requisite 30 minute or so range session to dial in all the adjustability available in todays drivers, then you'll get the 20 back (and then some! ;) )

I'm getting closer and closer myself to pulling the trigger of one of Taylormade's new big sticks(probably the next time I have a bad day swinging the big stick off the tee :rolleyes: ). I figure if I was able to quickly get used to my old, square, yellow Nike driver, how tough can it be to get used to looking down the shaft and seeing a white club head??? :lol:

I don't know how anyone could look down at one of those things!! Is it really yellow?

Either that Camp or you might just have to get a box of those Srixon day glow yellow golf balls, put on the winter golf gloves and just go for it!

Sooner or later the battle of the airmasses between the warm stuff to the South and the cold, unsettled stuff locked in over us now will end and REAL spring weather will arrive!

I'm horrible at Golf but that makes it fun for me. I'm a hockey stick or snowman on almost every single hole.

My in-laws have a condo in South Carolina in Murrell's Inlet (10 minutes from Myrtle Beach) on Blackmoor Golf Course. I usually go down for at least a couple days in the summer and play a few rounds of golf, but it gets HOT down there.

Blackmoor is a great course. Played it many times, got the golf shirt.......

My crew has been going to Myrtle (actually Litchfield Beach) since 1995. I'll be there in less than 30 days....

Boston-area weather guys said the sun would come out today, but the wind was blowing so hard it felt more like early March, so I didn't get to the range. Maybe tomorrow.......

Just took away one of my potential excuses for a not so great round by installing a new set of grips on the sticks. Weather permitting going to try them out tomorrow! :)

And just like in ski tuning, golf club work has a mandatory beer requirement while working too! :beer: :) :lol:

Soooooo, Sunday mornings are getting expensive. Donated another $20 bucks, AND lost 6 bucks in one Nassau, pushed on the other. Down 46 bucks for the year so far, damn. I'm makin birdies (3 yesterday), prollem is I'm makin birdie on the same holes as everyone else :-x.

That little Pro2860 JR took all the cash yesterday...little bastage :argue:

When he was like 13 I could beat him, or was it 11....anyway, he's hittin' it great, more importantly makin putts. WOnder where he gets that from?? Must be his mother :razz:
