Ok, its a little past 11
After my previous posting today, I decided it would be better to go and golf than sit around all day. Again, Indian Valley was the course because it's fairly close by and its really cheap ($15, cart included. . .thats almost free in golf).
Coverage of the round:
It was hot. It was humid. 90+ heat index. But at least it didn't rain or anything stupid like that. However, due to the heat and humidity (at least I think so) caused me to hit the ball much less farther than normal. My irons were all off by about 10 yards. On the first par three on the front, which was about 170 yards and downhill, I pured a 6 iron and it didn't even reach the green (probably traveled about 155 yards before plugging in a bunker).
Apart from the heat and humidity, I had a good day I think. For not having played 18 holes probably since the summer before I started college, I played well. On the front 9, my iron game was terrible. I didn't hit one green in reg. I did, on the other hand, chip and putt half decently. I shot around what I did when I played last Friday (low to mid 40s).
I had never played the back 9 at Indian Valley before today, so the results surprised me a bit. I started off on fire. I hit the first 3 fairways and greens. Putting wasn't as good as the front though so no birdies despite having the ball about 20 feet away for birdie on all three. After that though, I started to get really tired. I hooked all of my tee shots on the rest of the holes, except for 18. I managed to shoot in the low 40's on the back (including a great up-and-down on the last for par) so 18 hole total was low to mid 80's. I think if I keep playing more, the consistency I had will start to come back and I should be able to get down into the 70's at Indian Valley (its a short 6500 yards from the tips, par 70 course).
I've also decided I need to start working out. Even with the cart, I was still dead tired after playing 18 holes. Since I still have no job, I should get on that.
Until I figure out something else to write about. . .
