Well we finally got the season started. This was one of our latest openings in recent years...but who cares because it is here now. The start of the season is always filled with such promise. Many have new clubs or golf clothes with new swing thoughts ready to be applied. There are visions of low rounds and holes-in-ones as well as aspirations to score better on the ringer board while cashing in more skins. Heck, even the desire to win the Chase-the-Ace pot is palpable at this time of year.
Speaking of Chase-the-Ace, I finally got my ticket pulled for a chance but couldn't find it among the 41 cards. It's over $1300 for next week for anyone that might be interested.
On a fairly cool opening night, we had 13 golfers come to open the year. Skins only went on two holes. Robin Kimpinski paired with the dummy for a $20 win on #1 while Theoren Hunter and Phil Ostash combined for $20 on #2. Closest to the pin on #5 was Pete Ostash. No one hit the green on #9. There were no deuces.
I frequently say that Wednesdays from May to September are my favourite days. However, I don't mind Saturday mornings such as these. It's fun to update this blog with both a coffee and my dog nearby...knowing that I will be hitting golf balls with the boys in a couple of hours.
Also I know that the whole golf season is ahead of us. There should be about 20 Mens' Nights with lots of laughs, some good and bad shots, and more than a few rides home on the cart in the dark. We will also have some nine-and-dines, a few Jack and Jills, and several tournaments. Most of us still have a fairly clean slate with our significant others...given that we probably have yet to play too much or stay out too late too often.
So best of luck to everyone for a fun and long summer of golf. May your shots be straight, may your balls fly far, may your rounds be blessed, than no worse than par.
