I played just my second ever 9-holes this morning, the first I was able to finish (a work thing came up last time) I picked up some clubs and started with the range and a couple of lessons late last fall, but haven’t forced myself out onto the course until recently.

I hit 44 on a little par 32 9 hole course. I guess if my math is correct, that’s about 100 on a full par-72. 

Now, this little course is very forgiving and has no real sand or water, except a river that runs along one fairway, but it’s well OB. 

I putted pretty well (no threes, just 17  for the 9 holes). I even got my first par on a 140yard par 3, where I pulled my 7 iron a couple yards left of the green, but chipped to within 4 and one-putted. It felt pretty good, I’m not gonna lie. 

I think I’m going to like this game of golf...

Thanks, everyone. 

It truly seems like all I can think about anymore is golf. I really think I might be in trouble.

You aren't in trouble...you are in good company.  If golf is a disease; it is an affliction that none of us wish to be cured of.  And we all, silently, rejoice when the game claims another victim.  Golf is good for you.  It may seem otherwise, at times, but that is part of the charm.

You actually putted very well, no 3 putts in your first time playing is great. Being able to putt and chip well will really help your scores stay low. Good luck in your future golf endeavors.

Carry on my wayward drive

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

I am in the same boat.

Before this year I played about 10 rounds in my life.

I have played every day this week and am playing tonight, tomorrow and the next day.

If this is a sickness, I don't want no cure!

Always remember, the same country that invented golf and called it a game, invented bag pipes and called it music.
