Today I had my first par and my first chip-in!

[GaijinGolfer]

As most every other Sunday morning, today I played the local little Par 3. Most of my tee shots sucked, but on hole #4 I made a chip in from about 30' away and on hole #6 (190 yard par 3) I hit a 3-wood shot with a 30 mph right to left crosswind about 30' to the left of the hole. It was pretty cool, because the ball started left and then slowly went to the right (into the wind). If it hasnt been for the wind, it might have stopped on the green and Id be talking about a birdie or an ace! I also had a 1-putt on hole #1.
Anyways, I pretty much sucked other than that. My full swing hasnt been so good the past few days, but Im sure that too shall pass. I had fun though and thats really all that matters.
All in all though, I cant complain. Other than it being a little windy, it was sunny and about 75 degrees. You cant ask for much better golf weather than that.

Save that ball! It will look great next to your first birdie and first eagle ball.

Congrats. I, too, got my first par recently. Mine was last tuesday on a par 4. I missed greens, but chipped to 10 feet and sank the putt for my first up and down and my first par :)

It was a great feeling, and it happened early in the round (4th) so it gave me confidence to play safe, smart golf for the rest of the round and I did see some results (career low 109 :))

Nice man, keep it up. I got my first birdie the other day, it was a short par four and i drover it about 250 and straight for one the first times ever, stupid slice -_-. I managed to put my second shot into a pot bunker on the left and hit a perfect bunker shot out that rolled into the hole :). I loved that feeling, have fun.

I think I still have yet to chip in for par...or anything else for that matter. My checklist of lmilestone/memorable shots is long and mostly unchecked.

Thanks for the positive comments, everyone. It still bothers me that my full swing was so terrible today, but I did a little practice this afternoon and I think I know where I was screwing up.
Thats the crazy thing about golf. No matter how well you do, you could always have done better. Thats one of the things that I love about this game.

A pitcher can throw a perfect game. A bowler can roll 300. But if I ever shot a 69 I garuntee I'd be thnking about the ones i missed. What a great game indeed.

No matter how bad you play, one good shot will make you come back for more.

No matter how good you play, you will always find one shot you wish you could have done better.
