I was warned by my sister how easy it is to get “addicted” to golf and I just laughed. Thankfully, I don’t have an addictive personality ~ everything in moderation is my motto ~ BUT I sure am having fun with golf.
After taking 3 lessons and a summer at the driving range, I finally made it out on the course yesterday for a round of 9 holes. It felt wonderful to spend a couple of hours with a cool breeze off the ocean and no one behind us pressuring us to play fast. We took our time and enjoyed the views. I had ‘par’ on only one hole, had to fight off several bumble bees and I certainly wouldn’t put my score in print but, all in all, it was great fun! So much so my new golf partner, T.S. and I set up a standing tee time every Tuesday for the next few months. We’ll keep the first scorecard to compare with our last one when we leave Guam in 3 years. We even dared to talk about entering a tournament once our scores improve a little and when we’re able to play faster.

You should turn in all of your 18 holes played that way you can establish a handicap. By the sounds of it you’d have a great one for entering tournaments with. It’s amazing how you can when even shooting a high score because of your handicap. (sort of like bowling). I need to start practicing and playing again, I have a brand new set of Callaways I have yet to play with.
