One month of golfing

May 31st, 2004 by jesse Leave a reply »

My post-undergrad golf vacation has been great, so far. In May, I played 20 rounds of golf at South Muskoka. My golf game was weak at the beginning of the month, but it improved in the first two weeks. Mid-month, I fought my swing and set-up a little bit and posted some poor scores (length of swing and ball position). Recently, I'm swinging and putting well.

Playing almost every day is a new experience for me. Since the grounds crew changes the pins every two days or so, I've played the same pins many times. Interestingly, the added knowledge of the course hasn't affected my score too much.

I've also tracked a few aspects of my performance: strokes, putts (less than 10 feet and more than 10 feet) and greens in regulation. To date, here are my cumulative stats:

Average score 91.33 Lowest score 82
Average putts 34.41 Highest score 100
Average greens in reg 4.36

I think I'll post updates about each round. Little golf narratives to practice my creative writing skillz.

    keep the golf narratives coming. I will live vicariously through you; I have yet to hit the links, and that won’t be happening any time soon.
    The course looks great!
    This may sound weird, but could post a higher resolution pic?

    If you right-click on the image and choose “open in new window,” you should be able to see a larger image. I can post a higher-res version if you want it.

    I tried to open it “in a new window” and it would have none of it.
    No worries, just wanted to see the growth patterns a little closer. I’m itching to make some grass now that I’m not working outside anymore.
    Hope you’re doing well Jesse. If you’re ever in TO over the summer be sure to contact me.
