Well, Well, Well,  I got into my office last monday morning, opened up my coffee, and decided it was time now to get serious.....well all i could think about was golfing for the following weekend.  Finally,  after 5 long days, Saturday had arrived, I was so excited, I was actually up at 3:30 am Saturday morning.  Not Good!  With the lack of sleep, I had a tee of at 7:50am, and decided to get to the course early about a quarter to 7.   I hit quite well on the range mind you!!!!,  So we go out, and my swing was all messed up.!!!!  Finally I figured out a couple of things, to get in a groove, but the day and scoring well, was done for me!   Now, I havent told you what a huge Met fan in baseball I am,  So after the Mets won Saturday, and the Phillies lost, the Mets were tied for first place with the last game of the season riding for both teams, on Sunday.  So as excited as I was,   I put on my Met Golf shirt, and my Titelist hat that has a met logo, and I was wearing the colors of my favorite baseball team on the course.  Well,   it helped me out quite a bit, as I played rather well,  Unfortunately, it didnt work out the same way for the mets.  So much to my frustration, that the Mets wont play again until next Aprl,  at least I get to golfing again, next weekend, with a golf outing tomorrow on Monday.!  

Well, Fall has arrived,  and usually I look forward to heading up to the hudson valley area to play, where I usually admire the leaves changing colors.  However this is not the case, and thats ok by me.  There is nothing better, than playing at this time of year, and still being in short sleeve shirt and shorts.  I played in an outing on Thursday at the Creek Club in Locust Valley. It had some of the most stunning views I have seen of the Long Island Sound.  We played $2.00 Nassau,  I ended up making a little bit of money.  On Saturday, which was another pleasent day,  I played from the back Tees, at my club,  and all things considering I thought I played ok.  Tee Shots went astray however.  On Sunday, Played from my Normal white tee's,  and on the first hole, I got a birdie- What a great way to start your day at -1.  However after the 2nd Hole I think I was at +2.   But it was a great day, a great weekend, and a great week.

 

at least for me it is; I just joined a golf club, and believe me, I never thought I would joing one, as I like playing on different courses, and I tend to stereotype these clubs as "Stuffy Ok, so I joined a semi private course, but I can at least call it home. Since, I could not find anyone to play this weekend, as most of my friends, are married, and have responsibilities, I decided to see if I could tee off by myself, alone, before the first group went out, and to my surprise my course let me. So at the first sign of the sun, coming up, with an orange glow; I teed off, and missed the fairway with my 3 iron (short par 4), tried playing it smart- but ended with a double bogey. So with my tee time temperature at 48 degrees, I was off and running. I realized that it is quite difficult playing a round of golf by yourself, as you have no one able to help you locate the whereabouts of my ball. But I guess If I kept it on the fairway more often, there would of been no problem. By the tenth hole, I took off my heavy layer, stayed with the moch long sleeve, I had underneath. The sun was shining, and the grass, started drying- thank goodness, as wet fairways took yardage off my shots. As poor of a score I put in, it didnt matter, I was done by a quarter to nine, and had the whole day ahead of me. I am already thinking of my games I have scheduled for both next saturday and sunday. This time I am out with friends, which I am sure will make for some interesting stories.
