Thank you. I'm excited. I might even be able to go play more challenging courses at some point without feeling like I'll be hitting the equitable stroke control each time.

Shot a 79-ish today. Tough to say since the rules at this time of year are kind of in question (along with the conditions). Do you roll the ball out of a small spot of snow mold or play it?

I'm just out trying to get loosened up, really, so a 79 isn't bad.

It, like everything I do on the golf course, varies tremendously from day to day. There's almost no correlation that I can draw between anything and my golf performance--not even the day of the week, or if I'm trying a new trick, or something.

Today, I carded in a 47 for the back nine at Fox Run , but lord knows how many mulligans I took between the mishits and water shots. If I had to play by the rules, it would've probably been closer to 60--the course turns men into mice and the remainder come back on their knees.

78...good ballstriking and golf management day. I only hit 2 drivers, the rest of the tee shots were hybrids (3i or 1i Halos) so fairways hit was at 80%. Putting was substandard on front 9...1 three putt and 2 short misses (5ft or less) for par.

Walked today for the 1st time in about a year...Actually a good round in all categories. My putting held up and my short game was consistent (no chili dips), which help me shoot 78 again.

86 Saturday - simply awful off the tee. Putted decently, made some very good sand shots, OK irons but the tee ball was the worst I have been in a long time.

[Scott L]

well I just started, this was only about my 8th time to play. I shot a 114. I counted every stroke legit and only took one muligan the entire day. My putting is actually pretty good, but my chipping is horrible. Could easily have been in the high 90s if I wasnt playing ping pong around the greens all day...

Played for the first time of the year on Friday (9 holes). Actually first time playing in about 4 months, life in the northeast I was extremely rusty and it was chilly and very windy. Hey, at least I was playing golf in NH in March (not sure if I've ever been able to do that).

Ball striking was okay but I putted like a 2 year old. I must have 3 putted at least half of the holes, if not more. Greens were really slow, not that the speed of the greens had anything to do with it. Distances with my irons were pretty far off too.

New Equipment for 2007: First time playing with the Graffaloy ProLaunch shaft in my Comp driver. Noticed the difference with the very first tee shot. Actually hit the driver well which was my weak club last year. First time playing with the 2006 Launcher Steel 3 Wood as well (replaced an old Launcher fairway wood). Doesn't look flashy but it flies. Very springy at impact. Replaced my 588 SW with the CG10 and added a 60 degree CG10 and replaced the 3 iron. Biggest difference in the wedges I noticed was the weight. CG10's are heavier than my old 588's. I think I'll like that for short chips and bunker shots. Mixed results with the 60 degree.... haven't carried one in quite a few years so I'll have to practice with that club.

Wanted to get out again yesterday or today but the weather isn't allowing it (40 degrees and raining) I hate New Hampshire. Maybe by the end of the week.

I played Sunday and I sucked. If my putting doesn't improve I am going to take two weeks off then quit. Shot 77 but just was off the entire day. I only made one birdie to go with 6 bogeys. 3 of the bogeys were 3 putts and I had several other putts I missed from inside 6 feet. It was just one of those rounds that gets under my skin, plus it cost me money cause 77 in the group I play with isn't going to win many bets.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but if you took even one mulligan, your score was NOT legit.

[getinthehole]

I shot 90 on a par 69, didn't play too well, 8 under my handicap but I didn't feel like I played great, but 8 under my handicap is quite good, it was a course i've never played before so I guess it was ok.

It's still a bit too early in the year to keep score here, and since they were aerating the greens and some had temporary flags just short in the fairway, it's tough to say what I shot. But, I'm off to a good start, and the flaws I had in 2007 are still the "main ones," but they're less severe at this point, so I'm looking forward to the year.

Shot about 78 or so... but again, I can't really say. I did finish strong with two near-tap-in birdies.

It kills me to hear you guys talking about just playing golf...I don't know what I would do if I had to wait 4-5 months to play golf.
