Okay, so I actually took my clubs out onto the course, yesterday . . .

And utterly humiliated myself. Nine holes, and I think I was on the fairway ONCE the entire time. Unless the tees count. Do the tees count as “being on the fairway”???

I had gotten to the point on the driving range when I could hit fairly long, fairly straight shots, fairly consistently (I took a half hour lesson too, which helped) with my seven iron, at least.

But everything I thought I’d grooved in disappeared when I got out on the course.

*sob*

I hit trees. Several. I hit water (not that that was hard to do that — we got three inches of rain yesterday morning and the course was sopping wet). I scattered the geese grazing in the rough. I chipped over greens, and then chipped back over them the other way. On more than one hole.

I think I’ll stick to the driving range again for awhile . . .

  1. OK, but hear tell that your 8-year old went merrily down the center of the fairway, hitting her shots while you wander, aimlessly, through the gorse and heather looking for your wayward ball.

  2. LOL

    She had a grand time, & is far too intelligent to bother keeping score, which is a good thing because she probably beat the pants off of me.
