Fleming: 4th hole. Par 3.

: )!!

I took this photo in hopeful anticipation that I *might* make my putt - which I did! It was about 4-5 feet away from the hole.

...and yes, that is a pink ball that I'm playing with. My friend Melissa turned me on to them a few months ago. They're so much easier for me to see (and find!), and I never have to double check to see if I'm hitting the right ball. Plus, you know, it matches all of my pink and pastel golf clothes - because that's the only kind of colors that they seem to offer for women's golf clothing!

Oh, yeah.

Mark this day. It's the day got a birdie on the 9th Hole at Fleming.

I had a great tee shot that put me about 4 feet from the tee hole, then tried really hard not to psych myself out.

Consistency is the name of the game, though, and seeing as I got a 10 on the 7th hole, I still have a long way to go. :)

But still: a birdie!
That was a great way to end my game!

Yay!

First there was Cousins Dinner - a tradition I have withe my sister and 3 cousins (and an occasional spouse, significant other, or gay boyfriend) where we get together every few months (or at least once a year) for dinner.

Today, was the first of (hopefully) many "Cousins Golf" days. Well, not all of the cousins play golf, and Kenneth was out of town, but since it was my cousin, Bruce, and I who organized it, I'm just going to call it "Cousins Golf"!

Dick and Graham (My sister's boyfriend) joined Bruce and me for a rousing 9-hole game of golf this morning. I personally didn't have a very good game, but that's okay - it was a really, really fun time.

Bruce used to play regularly, but hasn't played in the last 3 years. Graham hasn't played at all this year, so it was a really great way for everyone to get back into it, and to spend some quality time with each other.

I'm hoping we can make this a semi-regular thing!
(and maybe, just maybe we can get Tiffie and Cheri to join us, too!)

PS: I seem to be golfing a lot lately, and I've started to blog about it more. I'm officially starting the "golf" label for my blog, now. I think that means I may be addicted. It's probably a healthier addiction than Vegas. ;)

Mark this day.

I started playing golf about a month ago. Dick has been playing about a year and really wanted me to pick it up. I admit, I hesitated a bit because, you know... It's golf. Nothing against golf at all, it's simply not a sport that I ever saw myself playing. (Because I play so many sports. :)

I went to the driving range twice, using Lora's old clubs that she loaned me. I did okay- better than I thought I would. Dick was so excited that we bought a set of clubs (and cute shoes!) for me.

I tried my new clubs at the driving range about three more times before braving Golden Gate Golf Course last week.

I did fine- not bad in my book for a beginner- I was hitting 6-8 swings on every hole. I'll take that.

Today I went out with Dick, Andy & Aditya. (previously, I'd only
braved playing with Dick). It was my third time out on a course.

I played my regular 6-8/hole (still happy with that!) but today, miraculously, on the third hole, I made par!!!!

That's 3 swings!!!!

I'm reveling in the moment, as i'm not expecting for that to happen again anytime soon! :)
