Nowhere in the country is all that great for golfing right now. Rain in the west, cold/snow in the midwest and east, rain in the south, fires in Texas...Mother Nature is conspiring against golfers!

Headed to Myrtle on Thursday for our yearly Legends Resort golf trip.
4 days 5 nights.
16 of us (up from 12 previous years) this go around.

Then, mid-April 2 friends and I are headed to Ocean City for a 4-day golf trip.

Set to semi retire May 10th. Have a PT job already set up at local golf course.

Looking forward to the changes.

So I have always been a casual golfer. I would play, at most, 3-4 rounds a year.

However, I become engrossed with golf last year. I started going to the driving range probably at least once a week and then I would play a round a couple time a month.

When I first started last year, I was about a 21 handicap. I would shoot 90's-100's. I went and got swing lessons in the fall of last year and was fitted for new irons. I continued to practice and basically read any golf instruction book, podcast, and youtube videos. My wife would always chuckle because usually while she was getting ready for bed I would watch Danny Maude on youtube to help improve my game.

Well, it all came together last week at my home course. I shot the best round of my life, a 77 (par is 72). So I was pretty stoked at the end of the round. It seemed like I hit almost every fairway and had almost every green in regulation. I have been able to get my handicap down to a 12 and will try to get it in the single digits by the end of the year.

My best friend is a scratch golfer, so I hope to one day be able to compete with him better when we play. My goal is to become a scratch golfer one day but I will take just getting in the single digits.
