I went to play golf this afternoon here: The Frog

I started my day recovering from a Friday of too many cold ones and not enough sleep. I went to do a golf supply check and immediately chuckled when I saw my bag still had the Madjack Sports Group from Belterra's.

Had it been that long since I played? Are people really supposed to be able to eat 15 pounds of crab legs? Was I still drunk from the night before? Questions... in need of answers I snuck out of the house and promised to be home by eight tonight and for her to enjoy her day... (PF Chang's was the trade off on my return.)

But back to the tale of my day. So it's 74 and beautiful. The kind of day where there's a steady breeze and all your jokes are getting real laughs. All my tee shots on the range are going to the correct flag as aimed instead of some other one that I usually pretend I was aiming towards even though no one gives a shit...

So this year is going to be different. I'm breaking into the 80s again. This year. Swinging easier and clubbing down. Spine angle. Correct grip. Aligning properly when addressing the ball.

A new year.


I swing the club with a smile, andthe season begins.


Later I walk into the pro shop, my round complete and ask What's the course record for The Frog, I believe I may have just crushed it. Melanie looks over intrigued and says it's 16 or so below par. A knucklehead in my group immediately responds to her statement, No he's looking at most strokes allowed, he just shot a 115.

Can't wait until next season...

I had three pars and two birdie opportunities. Driving the ball well. It was wet and I took about 20 CHUNKS within a 100 yards total.

Lying in the middle of the fairway... over and over again I would chili dip it...

Since we were playing for money best total I had to play out four holes where I got 10s...

I only lost two balls... :shrug:


okay, it was like four but I found two while in the woods... :mj07:

Almost broke a 100.

I met up with Gary in Ohio to play to play Blackwater. It was in prestine condition and many holes played from tee to green with rolling hills.

My issue continues to be 100 yards and in to short chipping. I may have duffed over 12 shots in the course of 18 holes.

I did get my first birdy driving the ball onto the green on a par 4 and missing the eagle putt from 25 ft out. I hit the five footer for the birdie.

Final score: 100

I'm down fifteen strokes already... :)

Bryan: I don't think you need to do much to vastly improve your score. I don't think I played 13 strokes better than you, but I somehow did. Your putting is a strength I wish I had. That course was unbelievably nice for $20 w/cart. :)

Woodson let me know next time your out this way as I enjoy playing the Frog and only live about ten minutes away. You ever played Barnsley gardens, I heard it was really nice.

Would love to get out and play. We have three in our group so you'd be able to play anytime you wanted.

Played Orchid Hills today in Newnan, GA. It was awesome. Stepped up to a 485 par 5. Tee box overlooks a flat fairway that slightly cuts left and down hill. I drive the ball left to right and it settles down the fairway about 307. Second shot laying to the right side of fairway 178 out.

The green is guarded on the top and bottom by two full bunkers and has a false front. I hit a 7 iron 20 feet left of the flag and it sticks moving only about 6 inches out of the divot. Stepping over the ball, it was so straight I was nervous I would pull it left. I hit it and started walking to the right... 15, 10, 5, 4, 3 feet and 2 now 1... FALLS INTO THE HOLE!

AN EAGLE! It made my day! The guys in front of us on the par 3 were watching me from the tee box while I was on the fairway and came over and congratulated me. Par 3 was backed up being Saturday...

Greatest hole I've ever played.

Was awesome.

I don't know if you're talking to me but I played a scramble. I hit some great shots and plenty of shit shots. I lost the first 3 balls I hit today and had 2 solo birdies. That's my highlights.

No 300 yard drives from my old ass and no 178 yard 7 irons either.
