So after picking up the sport last summer, quickly becoming obsessed, taking about 8 lessons and a boat load of time at the driving range, I went out today on the course. It was a shitty, short 9 hole course, par 31...and I shot 53.
I chipped the ball with my sand wedge pretty well, and had 2 good drives. Other than that, not much positive - I did read the putt, a big right to left, almost perfectly on the last hole and just shorted about a 15 foot breaker.
I found that hitting my irons in the tee box was really difficult and much different than the range. The was a TON of wind about 20 mph mostly into our faces through the entire round, but I only hit about 2-3 solid iron shots.
Anyway, got 1 under my belt and I look forward to getting a lot better!
