Decent S&T Round

[Bo the Golfer]

Played yesterday at Olde Scotland Links in Bridgewater. Haven't played there before but really liked the course. They started us on the back nine which I was told was a little tighter that the front. Hit my frist three fairways and parlaed that into a double, a triple, and then a par. Shot 49 on the first nine mostly due to a balky putter and some bad approach shots. Came back with a 44 on the second nine playing the last 5 holes in 1 under. Felt committed to the swing all day and drove the ball fairly well hitting 7 of 14 fairways (almost up to Tiger's standards ). I eneded up hitting 8 of 18 greens but that was bolstered by hitting the last five in a row. Love what S&T; has done for my game. Just wish Golf Evolution would open a Boston branch.

"Almost up to Tiger's standards?" Huh? You blew Tiger's doors off, especially if you used driver most of the time and not your 3W.

As for a Boston school, we'll try. For now, you can sign up for evolvr... Got a camera?

(Sorry about the previous post - blog commenting has an odd bug right now.)

Hey Erik,

Any good inexpensive camera suggestions? It was mostly driver yesterday but a couple irons off the tee for position sake. Love this swing!

Kodak Zx-1 is a good inexpensive video camera that shoots 60fps (got mine for under $100)

Or the pocket Casio - does 210 FPS and is smaller than the Kodaks AND takes still photos (if you're married that's a plus):

Casio FH-100 . You can find it from $200 to $250. Read this too: Filming Your Swing . Richard is an evolvr member and is improving quite nicely.

How is that course? Is is actually a real links style course (with mounds and thick fescue between the hole) or do they just not have many trees?

Thanks for the heads up Erik and Richard!

Hey Jamo-has a good links look and feel to it. At the end of my round I said to my buddy that ultimately it was mostly placement golf but some of the holes were links like and you could run up shots to some of the greens. Good use of fescue and mounds throughout the course to give you that feel. Greens fees were only $40 but I have been dealing with some knee issues lately so we rode which cost an extra $16 per person. I would recommend the course though-you'll enjoy it overall.

Cool, thanks! I'm thinking of playing there.
