Golf

This weekend was Brian’s bachelor party.  We started the day off with lunch at Frisch’s and then went to a local golf course.  This was my first time golfing, and I really enjoyed it!  We got lucky and had a 76 degree day, no humidity, and mostly sunny.  My driving was pretty much worthless, but heck, aside from a few practice swings while visiting Jason up in Cleveland, I’d never even touched a golf club (well, except the putt putt courses!).

I played with Brian, Kirk (Brian’s future brother-in-law), Cary (Brian’s best friend and best man),  as a foursome, but Adam (Brian’s other brother-in-law to be), Curry (Brian’s future father-in-law), Phil and Phillip (Brian’s brother and step father) followed us in another foursome.  It was nice playing with that many people, as I got to try out a number of different clubs and got a lot of good advice from Cary and Kirk.

I may have to start shopping Craigslist, classifieds, and Play it Again Sports for some decent, cheap, used clubs.  There is a driving range right down the street from my office…how convenient.  🙂 Emily played a year or two ago with her friend, Mary, and she had a good time, too.  May have found a new hobby!

    I have played many time this year. However I never seem to get any better. It is more for fun then anything else. The next time that I come up Emily, you and myself will have to go play.

    I have played many times this year. Howeveer I never seem to get any better. Maybe some day I can say my score without hanging my head in shame. The next time I come over to visit Emily, you and myself should go play.

    Your grandfather loved golf. When they were stationed in Hawaii, he played at least 3 days a week. I never found it to be much fun although I tried. The golf clubs he gave me when I was a 2nd Lt later became part of your mother’s engagement ring.

    How funny, I just played today after not swinging a club for over 5 years. Did you never go play the executive course with Jr and I at Murray? Anyway I discovered a sport that I enjoy much more. Sporting Clays…it is called golf with a shotgun. With a name like that how can you not like it??? You should check it out, down here I goto http://www.elmfork.com

    I think I’d like clays…I miss shooting sometimes. 🙂

    I forgot to tell you. This past weekend I went to a women’s shooting event and they had all these different guns. I shot a AK-47 and a M-16. Let me tell you the AK-47 almost put me on the ground and after the 3 shot I was crying. My shoulder is still not right. Very, Very cool.

    Emily – I have loved clays because I could never take my self seriously at it. With a rifle or pistol I get to serious, but with a shotgun it is all about having fun and shooting at moving targets.

    Mary – just remember to keep the butt of the stock jammed into your shoulder it will cut down on the slapping action on your shoulder. You should be able to absorb the shock instead of being hit by it all at once. (Same goes for shotguns keep a tight mount.)
