Ahhh.. It feels great to golf again.

After taking a long break (11 months) from golf, I decided to pick up my golf clubs once again.

I kinda expected that I was going to suck shit for awhile, especially since I quit golf with a bad taste last year after losing like 5 golf balls in one around and shooting 100.

To my surprise, I scored 87, 86, 85 and 86 during the last four rounds that I played this year. Hey! My shots are actually going to where I want them to go! Holy shit! I probably could have scored even lower if my putting didn't suck. I'm averaging about three to four 3 putts per round from 5 feet away. This is so friggin sad!!

My long irons are really coming together quite well too. It's not as consistent as I want it to, and I think my score would improve if I replaced my 2 iron with a 5 wood for 200+ yard shots.

With that thought in mind, I went to the course and got fitted for the brand new Henry Griffits RDH DEEP fairway wood. This is the same brand that I have been using for my driver and my irons. It's a little bit pricey (paid $320 for it), but I have got to say this brand beats any of the other name brands out there any day since these are custom fitted. Shh! Don't tell Anita I paid that much for a golf club!



I am picking up the new club next week and I can't wait to get on the course with it. Ahh, I'm back to becoming a golf nut again.

Oh and also. I never knew what my handicap was until I entered all my scores to www.mygolfrecord.com. Based on its calculation, my handicap is 11.8. Whee! Hopefully I can become a single digit handicapper.

See you guys out on the course sometime!
