made par on #9 by driving into the bunker, putting out to about three feet away and making the putt.

LOL. Funny stuff. That said, not many people can brag about a par on their first nine holes, so nice job.

76 @ Bear Mountain yesterday from the tips. Incl a double on the first hole. Was having an amazing week, and then the morning of my round, I get a wicked hang-nail on my right ring finger (pretty bad spot for someone who overlaps)...really took me awhile to adjust to it and I couldn't really 'go after' my shots...was so annoyed.

But, +4 is still pretty decent. So, I had fun.

Using the putter out of the bunker is an underrated play. After lining two sand wedges into a 12 inch lip on #7 on Saturday, I grabbed the putter, took a mighty wack and got it right out of there. Good loft on those Odysseys. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Shot 39 on Sunday (par 35). Actually played 15 holes, nothing worse than a bogey, one birdie.

Since I didn't get back into golf until last summer, and I'm leaving here for ontario (for 5yrs+) this august, I only have a full pass @ Cedar Hill...but I play at least twice a month at other courses (Olympic View, Colwood, Cordova, Bear Mountain, etc). I have a pass for the Island View range though, so I go there 3-4 times/week and golf 2-4 times.

If I were here longer, I'd probably be a member at Gorge Vale...or Colwood.

Cool! I'm a member at Colwood.

black knight · #**726** 10-31-2007, 09:33 PM

Ya, my buddy who works @ Golf Town is a member there...I'm probably going to play a round in Nov there.

2 man scramble, shot 69 - five birdies, two bogeys one of which was really dumb. We had a lot of birdie putts inside 15 feet, but not very many of them went in.

Winning score was 67.

53-54-107 on Wolf. No tempo at all, really bad with my irons. Putted well at least, which continues an encouraging trend.

80 on Thursday from the white tees at Metropolitan Golf Links in Oakland and 87 from blue tees at Hiddenbrooke in Vallejo(with a 9 on a par THREE)

Played my 2nd real round of golf today. My first round was on a flat course with only 3 hazards you have to worry about. Shot a 101 on that course which I was very impressed by, considering it was my first time.

The one I played today had hills everywhere and woods/hazards that punished any mistakes. It really put me in my place, lol. I shot about 130 with about 20 penalty strokes. Between 3 people we had over 20 lost balls (about 12 were mine) which I found tilts me more than anything. It was also the first time I had to hit off an uneven lie. The only good thing was my putting on the front, which quickly went to crap after I got pissed. I'm not giving up that easy, I'm ready to go back tomorrow. Awesome winter rates and its still nice besides the wind. .
