The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

[tirolski]

I’ve used an old Ping B52 I got from a friend for decades.
He played on the ETSU golf team and his old man had it shortened for him when he was still growing.
I won a much newer fancy Ping at a stag day a few years ago and it putts even better.
It’s one of those with the 2wings on each side of the sweet spot.
Gave the B52 back as it’s sentimental value goes up with time.
Karsten Solheim was an innovator for golf.
Karsten was an UpStater.
He tilted putters so ya don’t have to unless ya want to.

Finally !!! After waiting a little over 6 months to swing a club today was a beautiful day to start 64 and sunny !

Moral of the story : Golf humbles you

I played my first round of the season after a 5.5-month break. Didn't keep score but got six pars and one birdie, saw four red foxes, came out six balls ahead, and witnessed a hole-in-one from the tee of the next hole. Felt great to be back on the links.

Free golf is good.

42-40 2 birds Sunday (1 chip in on #1 handicap hole, the other a bomber double breaker downhill from the back of the green)
Won a buck again for fewest putts.
Course dried out with the wind and sun and the irons went long. Took a bit to figure out what club to hit.
A couple bad chunks or it woulda shoulda coulda been better.
Fun day to play.
