Golf Itch

I think I've caught the golf itch again this year. I'm finding myself wanting to get out and hit and hit and hit. I think it started with a golf-centric Las Vegas weekend in February with one of my good friends from grad school. The view from the first tee at Siena Golf Club. We played two full rounds. The first was Arroyo at Red Rocks and the second was at Siena Golf Club . My game wasn't the greatest, but it was fun; and apparently the flame was (re)lit. Enough so that I signed up as a sub on the golf league I played on a few years ago and I'm playing in a tournament with that group this weekend. The weather here started to cooperate in early April and I was able to get to the driving range shortly thereafter. I've also started watching some YouTube videos trying to improve my play. One thing I noticed from my Vegas golf was my driver seemed dead compared to my friend and the people we were paired up with. I'm still trying to decide if it...

Birdie

As from previous posts, I thoroughly enjoy golf. I played nine at  Bunker Hills Golf Course  on the north end of town. My future brother-in-law (God help him) played too. It was a cloudy day which kept the course from getting too busy, it was a great outing. I played a great round (for me) shooting a 41 with no holes worse than a double bogey (on a side note I broke 50 for the first time on my "home" course  this year shooting a 48 this evening). My B-i-L on the other hand, had a rough round. Understandable for not being out for the last couple years. We are telling people he shot a birdie though...well a Canadian goose to be more exact. He hit one teeing off on the 4th hole. Fortunately it was on a bounce and really just pissed the bird off more than it already was. It had ganders so was hot tempered to begin with. He also almost took out a squirrel, but there's no golf analogy for that save he might have had himself a new head cover.
