Golf Course 1, Dobo 0 - Still a Victory!

Today was an absolutely beautiful day, and as things turned out, I had a few meetings that needed to reschedule, so "Carpe Diem", tee time was available.

This weekend, as we were driving north for Kaleb's Birthday Celebration (check the St. Peter Dobo's or Denfeld Dobo's bogs for details as I'm sure Gigi and Jody will be covering the event) I was lamenting the fact that I have yet to set foot on the golf course (there are several courses that can be seen along I35, and I would let out a sigh every time we passed one) despite the fact that I finally have a membership- any day that it has been nice enough to golf I've been way too busy, and any day that I have had time it was bad weather- most of the times involved snow! Well as I said, the moon and stars aligned with some other celestial bodies and the schedule/weather/tee time availability equation factored out in my favor. (Gigi doesn't know I went yet, probably should tell her)

I would love to get into all the gory details, but truth be told, I didn't keep score as they didn't have score cards at the second tee and I didn't grab one in the Pro Shop (for those of you non golfers, there is customarily a mailbox or the likes at the start of the second hole that contains score cards so you can grab one and fill it in after completing the first hole). I'm fine with this as this was the maiden voyage, so just remembering the lay of the land, and walking the course was good enough for me. Probably a good solid Bogey boarder line Double round of 9.

The "good" to take from this: I didn't loose any balls, I didn't three putt any holes (as a general rule of thumb you are alloted two putts per hole- not that I got on in/under regulation, but my short game was solid), and the season is young.

Breaking news...I got golf clubs for my birthday! (This hasn't even been mentioned on my own blog yet!)

Now we definitely have to come down and check out your course.
