[font=white][color=white]Well as you may of may not know, Im a golf nut. I love golf, I simply can't get enough of it. I'm a meber at Glen Meadows, a local course. Its not the best but it's close. My friend told me that they were having the Jr. club championships this week, (thursday and friday, it was tuesday) So I called them up and registerd. My group teed off at 11:15am. I decied that a nice hour and half would be nice to warm up. Since I've been having terrible problems with my shot (I've been mad hooking it, so I took a lesson wensday night) When I should up, my friend that told me about the tournament was their so I signed in, and got a small bucket of balls to warm up, (about 30 balls). It was going pretty good I was hitting far and straight, I finished my bucket and went over to the putting greens. Now since the beggining of the season, my putting has been nuts i was aceing holes and two putting like money. Today it wasn't there, and it hurt me, so after 20 minutes of putting i decided to test my luck at chiping another part of my game that isn't as strong as I'de like it to be. I was doing this neat drill I had learnt on the golf chanelle and my chipping seemed to be doing good. Our group was the last of 3 to leave. The first hole is a 480 yard par 4. I went first in my group, I teed it up and just smacked the piss out of my drive. Farthest in my group so i hid my second shot last. I drove it a wooping 280 yards on my first drive of the day. Now let me tell you something I have a handicap factor of 21.6 I can hit shots just the ones that are off, are off. So to hit a 280 yard drive isn't something the average golfer does. For my second shot I was 200 yards away, so I pulled out my 4 iron. What an amazing shot, I hit it soooo clean so pure, landed about 5 feet short of the flag, but to the left of the green by a foot. chiped it on only to 3 putt and finish with a 6. On the second hole I pretty much did a repeat I drove it a good 260-270, landed 130 away from the green. Right between clubs, or so I thought, I decided to go with the shorter club my pitching wedge because their's a swamp on the back side, I hit it perfectly took out a little divot after contact. The tragectory was nice pure and high, but too far I ended up rolling it into the swamp. Well i could see my ball and it was only like an inch under water in the muck. so I decided because it was a tournament and I didnt want to take a penalty stroke I'de play it from their like in the PGA. I didnt have a stace the ball was behind my back foot which is really akward. I took a full swing at it with my 56 degree sand wedge and, OMG I didn't expect what happend to happen. Mud when everywhere all over my shorts my shirt my face and meck and my hat. I completly forgot about the ball and just started to laugh along with everybody in my group. Took me a good 5 minutes to whipe the mud off my face, only to finish with a 6. Im going to save you the pain and boring ness of my next 6 holes because nothing special happend except for the bitch lady marshelle telling us to hurry up and that fucked my up. On the 9th hole a 550 yard par 5, I hit an average drive pretty far, about where it normaly goes for me on that hole, I took out my 3 iron for my next shot and fucked it up, i hooked it into the dry ditch 150 yards away from the hole, For my third shot i took out my 8 iron for 150, I was in the dry ditch that was grown over with grass. The ball was below my feet by a foot and it was thick in their, so it wasn't a nice lie, I choked down on my 8iron and did a light swing, it flew off the club like i had just hitten it from the fairway, one hoped on the green and hit the flag, I two putted for par, Nothing really spcial happend on the back nine cept for loosing balls and hitting my 60 degree lob wedge 90 yards after it cliping a tree and choking infront of every one of the Jrs in the tourny on my last putt. It was good fun Im deffenetly out of contension for low score after that round, but if im lucky I might get low score w/ handicaps (low net)
So wish me luck, I certanly hope I preform better tomorrow. Pce

I'm pretty into golf aswell. I cant hit a 280 drive though, more like 230! I dont have a handicap yet, but I do enjoy a few rounds just sort of messing about. I'm horrible with long irons and putting, I'm doing good if I manage a clean shot with an iron!
