Golf, golf, golf, Squam.

24 June, 2009 (20:53) | Look at me! | By: jonnythan

I’m going to have to put my golf habit on hold for a weekend trip to the Squam lake house in NH.

Speaking of golf, lessons make you worse! In fact, they make you as bad as you were when you first hit a ball. Yeesh. I was shooting 45 consistently at the par-28 course and improving weekly when I took my first lesson (thanks to Em for the 6-pack as a birthday present!) I took a lesson, changed everything about my swing, hit the range a few times, and then started shooting over 50 again. I posted a career-high 66 at the par-36 Frear Park back nine. Yeesh.

But, hey, at least the sun is still there. I think that I literally didn’t see it once from June 18 until June 23. That gets old real fast, let me tell you.

Also speaking of golf, I ordered myself a new driver last night, which is nice considering I didn’t really have one before. So far all of the clubs I’ve bought have been from GigaGolf, a strange little company that makes clone golf clubs. They take popular designs from the major manufacturers and replicate them almost perfectly. Different logo, different colors, but the same materials and technologies. It’s sort of weird playing knockoff clubs, but I’m really not entirely sure why. The clubs are all very high quality and would look right at home on the sales floor, but they’re literally 1/4 the price or less.

But enough about golf.

…. and I guess that also means “enough about this whole post.”
