Soggy December Golf
Megan and I played golf today, an actual round of golf on a course (Foster), while Lynn and Elton were out shopping and sightseeing. The weather was cool and cloudy, although the sun poked through a bit early in our round and a few sprinkles showed up on the back nine.
It feels like the start of the 2007 season. We hadn’t played for over two months, but now I think we’ll be getting out whenever the weather permits. Megan is working on her grip, and it was really working for her after she got warmed up today. She hit some 5-woods off the deck that were dreamy, long and straight. And the divots she was taking with her irons were awesome. She left wicked gashes all over the course.
My best clubs were the short irons, and I also chipped in for birdie on the second hole which was fun. But the new hybrids were a bit lame until late in the round, when I tried swinging them a bit flatter. With hybrids, supposedly you can swing them like irons and get wood-like distance, but I think I was getting a bit too upright. The swing that hits my PW or 8-iron really well doesn’t seem to work as well with the hybrids, but I need more time at the range to be sure of what’s going on. It was just great to get out.
We saw a bald eagle on the first fairway. Very cool, but I didn’t have my camera — I’ve posted so many pictures the last few days, I was giving it a few hours off.

Foster looks fantastic — let’s go there next time I can get out there with clubs, ‘kay? It’s on me.

Yeah, I really like Foster. It’s a bit short and tight, but it’s in great condition and has interesting holes with lots of variety, good greens, and a nice bar/restaurant. Yes, we’ll let you buy us a round there any time!
