I played The Hollows Cottage/Lake Course this weekend and shot a 90. I’m still putting terribly, but to shoot 90 with 42 putts shows I”m striking the ball pretty well. It’s frustrating to still be putting so badly, but I’m going to keep trying and one day it will come.
Sunday I finished my round from Independence Golf Club where my front nine was a 45. I shot a 46 on the back for a 91. 19 putts so a little better than Saturday, but still had 2 3-putts and 0 1-putts.
One day…

Today I played The Highlands Golf Club for the first time with my old college buddy John O’Brian and his friend who is a member. This is a very nice course with challenging greens, rolling fairways and elevated or declining greens. I shot a 96 and hit the ball very well. Putting, Putting, Putting…

After a terrible storm the course is in pretty bad condition accept for the greens which were clean and pretty fast. Brian and I walked 18 for the first time and both enjoyed it a lot. I’m definitely making progress playing weekly. I tied my best round of a 94 and still had two out of bounds and a triple and quadruple bogey so the goal of upper 80′s seems very achievable during this season.

The 8th outing of the year was at Independence Golf Club located in Chesterfield, Virginia off Huguenot Trail / Robious Road. The course is in excellent condition for the early season and the greens are very fast. I played with Brian Enroughty, Rich Melito and Shawn Golden. A large storm cut our round short so we had to take a rain check but after nine holes I shot a 45 and for my current 25-27 handicap that is pretty good. This was also the very first time playing this course so that is a plus as well. Hopefully we can get the other nine in so I can count the round toward my handicap. I have to have one established for my father’s member guest tournament at Indian Creek Country Club by June.

Being in the restaurant business there are always fun events we get to take part in when the vendors want to say thank you for selling their products. Today Jack Daniels had their golf tournament at Hunting Hawk Golf Club in Glen Allen, Virginia. I played with Brian Enroughty, Shawn Golden and Sean Patterson. Read more…

Today I played at King Carter Golf Course located in Irvington, Virginia with my father, Brian Enroughty and Shawn Golden. It’s a very nice public course with a lot of shape, hills and very nice greens. I shot a 98 from the blue tees which has a slope rating of 133 and considering the wind and fresh rain I’m not too disappointed. I still need to knock about 10 putts off my rounds.

Today I played at Indian Creek Yacht & Country Club located in Kilmarnock, Virginia with my father, Brian Enroughty and Shawn Golden. It’s a very nice private course with a lot of water, bunkers and it’s very flat. I shot a 94 from the blue tees which has a slope rating of 126. This is my best round at ICYCC. I had two 8′s on holes two and three so I could have easily broken the 90 barrier.

Today I played at Indian Creek Yacht & Country Club located in Kilmarnock, Virginia with my father. It’s a very nice private course with a lot of water, bunkers and it’s very flat. I shot a 101 from the blue tees which has a slope rating of 126. I had some very good shots today but my putting is still costing me 10 strokes. That is my next lesson.

Today I played at Indian Creek Yacht & Country Club located in Kilmarnock, Virginia with my father. It’s a very nice private course with a lot of water, bunkers and it’s very flat. I shot a 97 from the blue tees which has a slope rating of 126. This beats my previous record of 99 on this course.

Today I played at The Crossings Golf Club located in Richmond, Virginia with Brian Enroughty and Tony Deyerle. It’s a very nice public course in Glen Allen right off I-95/295. I shot a 105 from the white tees which has a slope rating of 126. After shooting a 97 here last week for my first round of the year this was a little disappointing, but with no practice and the second round of the year I can’t expect much yet. I will break into the upper 80′s by seasons end though.
