I'm an older gal, new to the game, and really enjoy playing as a single. There's only so much you can learn with an instructor or at the driving range. There comes a time when you have to put it all together play an actual course. Since I'm still a "newbie", I'm very self-conscious about my play and prefer not to inflict my gaffes onto others. I enjoy walking the course and make sure that I don't slow down others that are playing behind me. So, if you see me out there, give a smile and a wave, I'm really not an illusion!

Played on Friday and shot a 69 (front nine on a par 3 course). Finished with a 70 on the back nine for a total of 139 for the course and I couldn't be happier! I started playing a couple of months ago. Worked on the range for a few weeks. Even took a couple of lessons just so that I'd be able to actually make contact with the ball off the tee, rather than digging up divots behind the ball and whiffing completely. I've played maybe 3 or 4 times on an actual course and I am improving. Just have to learn to stay away from the water (just telling myself NOT to hit the ball into the water seems to always result in a very loud SPLASH every time!) and develop some putting skills (aim is good - can't gauge speed yet) and maybe some day I'll be able to break 120. I'm a 65 year old, old broad but feel like a kid lugging my clubs around the course. I don't know why but this game is so addicting!
