First round of 2010
It felt great to get back out there playing golf. I felt like I was hitting the ball fairly well, considering I haven’t played since early November. Unfortunately I blew up on 4 holes, shooting 15 strokes over. Short game and putting could always be better, but those will come around.
Going to warm up by walking 9 tomorrow morning, then grabbing a quick lunch. I’ll play 18 in the...
Packing list
The weather looks good for Florida this week. Here’s my extensive list:
Hat
Golf shirts (x3)
Golf underwear (x3)
Golf shorts
Golf pants
Golf socks (x3)
Golf shoes
GPS (loaded)
Clubs
Balls
Tees
Umbrella
Rain slicker
Palm beach area courses
Using a Google spreadsheet and mapalist.com, I’ve mapped potential courses in Florida. It’s a bit overwhelming. Too bad I only have 3 days to play.
