Default For you Golf Fan's...

So, I've been to the driving range twice in my life. Seperated by almost a year. Last time I went was the day before yesterday.

Today I played my first real game of Golf, and played 18 holes.

I came up 17 over par.
Seems pretty bad to me, but my friends told me I did good. *Shrug*.
That ish is fun, hard as hell though. I need more practice controlling my strength.

That's not bad for a first round. Kirk's lucky to shoot below 17 over par and he's been playing for a while and works at a course

Jk Krik :fawk:

*shrug*.

My problem was strength. Since I can't hardly tell how hard I should and shouldn't hit it, club choice is absolutely essential, and since I've never played before - club choice was crappy. So I overshot most of my shots.

*shrug*.

I probably just got lucky I guess, although, 17 over par seems pretty damn crappy to me.

17 over par is awesome... expecially for your first time out. I mean, look at tiger at teh masters... he shot 4 or 5 over the first round didn't he? And he's the best... I wish I could shoot 17 over consitantly

:bs:

unless it is mini-golf there is no way you shot a 17 over the first time out EVER. i shoot mid to upper 80s and i've been playing about 10 years now. i don't even buy you breaking 100 the first time out no way.

i don't care who you are you don't walk out and shoot sub 90 your first time ever.

/edit

unless you forgot to add the front 9 to your back 9 score.. then maybe i'll buy that.

I'll believe it. The first time I played I was 12, and shot 8 over for 9 holes on an executive course.
