... and all my friends, bless thier hearts, gave me encouragement and said that shooting 31 over par isn't bad for a first-timer.

I was proud of myself on the first few holes because all my shots had good distance, trajectory and aim. After the 3rd hole, for some reason, I started grounding EVERYTHING out. Half of the holes I went 2X par. Very frustrating.

Anyway... that's my first report. They let me keep the score card for posterity. Gee, thanks.

Averaging around triple bogey on you first nine is pretty good.

Top it once less per hole and you're at 54. Don't top any and you'll be a bogey golfer - like most of us - real soon.

I know a guy in high school who was trying out for the golf team and he shot 154 on the front 9. No bs.

Don't feel so bad.

It's nice to keep the score card. You'll see how much you've improved.

Well done. Your friends are right: +31 is fine. But now you know what golf is, so you can expect it next time.

Don't keep us in suspense man: did he make the team?

I went 64 on my first 9, and my second and third time out have preceded to shoot 54 and 55. The improvement feels AWESOME, I'll go ahead and tell you

I still have a long way to go too, so I know how you feel
