First Round of 9 Ever

[N8theGr8_1988]

Set foot on a course for the first time this morning for 9 holes with a childhood friend I haven't seen in a long time. He's an avid golfer with a 10 handicap, so I felt like I was in good company. Wasn't pleased with my play off the tee, but my short game kept me alive. Took more drops than I'd have liked and ended up shooting a 66 through 9. Highlights were a chip-in bogey from just beyond the fringe and holing a 20+ ft put on a right breaking slope to end the 9th hole. A 66 on 9 is certainly nothing to write home about, but I know after making some nice short chips and putts that I'm hooked on this game.

That's awesome, though.  Welcome to golf!  You scored better on your first nine than I did
