Best Round Ever

I'm in love with my new Walter Hagan hybrid club! Today I:

• Drove with it
• Chipped with it
• Played bump and run with it
• Even hit it from 15 yards off the green to within 3 feet of the hole!
• I considered putting with it, but didn't :)
  

I also played with my new TaylorMade R580 ($99 bucks at Dick's) and absolutely loved it. Not the latest, greatest model, but still a real driver.

I shot a 41 on the Tashua Glen (Par 33, Executive course) for pretty much my best round ever. Even better, I took the kids with me and they had a great time. Hope still lives that they'll take up golf!

New Toys

Black Friday was good to me.

Bought a TaylorMade R5 Driver for $99, threw in a Walter Hagan Hybrid 3 Ironwood and a Ben Hogan putter. I'm going to play 9 or 18 tomorrow, probably the last golf of the year. Can't wait to try out my new toys!

I spent at least 45 minutes agonizing over these clubs at Dick's in Milford - the best part was hitting them in the simulator. After shanking a few balls, I got into a groove, hitting my farthest ball almost 250 yards - and that was with the hybrid!

The Rain Held Off

In probably the last golf of the year (I hope not!), I played the back 9 at Tashua Knolls. I killed myself on the first two holes (+4 then triple bogey) and then settled down a bit.

I played the first 3 holes alone which was sort of nice, but a bit lonely. The course was very wet, which probably affected a few shots.

Broke My Best Score!

I played another round of 9 at the Tashua Glen (2036 yards from the blues) and shot a 44 (+11) - my best yet! 3 pars, 2 bogeys and 1 missed opportunity. In between my new golf bag and watching the Golf for Dummies DVD, I hit the ball solidly almost every shot today.

What a gorgeous day as well... nothing like golfing in the fall.

I'm still stymied by the first hole, I tripled it today. That first shot off the tee seems to want to hurt me.

New Golf Bag!

I picked up a new golf bag at Dick's today - does the bag help you shoot better? Let's hope so!

47 at Tashua Glen

Finally! I broke 50 on Tashua Glen with 2 pars, 3 bogeys and an assortment of worse than that.

My best shot was an amazing 8 iron that gave me a birdie chance (that I missed) on the 7th hole.

We played with some noobs who played so slowly we got yelled at... would have taken 7 hours if it had been 18 holes.
