Golf Update – to August 5/08

So my golf game has been pretty stagnant, with that I mean that I have been having trouble getting a lower score than the mid to high 80’s. Well that all changed on Saturday August 2/08, I shot a 92……… Yikes! I couldn’t hit the ball out of my shadow and when I finally did get the ball off the tee I then screwed up my approach and when I finally got to the green in regulation I three putted. Oh Well! It’s only a game and I could be working. The beauty of the handicap indexing system is that my handicap has only gone up a little and I currently sit at an 11.2, which I know a lot of golfers would love to have. On Tuesday Dave H., Al J. and I went to Talking Rock out a Quaaout Lodge on Little Shuswap Lake. It’s a very new resort style golf course and for only being opened since late last year it’s in pretty good shape. Of course the greens are as hard as hitting a paved parking lot, so that took a few holes to get used to that. It was quite warm, in the mid 30’s, but we walked it and we all agreed it is an easier walk than Eagle Point. Even though the group in front of us had carts and one guy walking we kept on their tail all day, in fact we waited 2-5 minutes on all the tee boxes. So, it ended up being just under a 5 hour round of golf……… like I said it is a resort style golf course and I guess that is to be expected. As far as my game I ended up shooting an 89, which was not too bad considering I had never played the course before…………. of course I just had to take a couple of double bogies that I can’t seem to escape somewhere in the round. Oh Well! Perhaps today at Seniors Day?
