Golf

Yesterday, Brad and I went to Stonelinks near Scott to play golf.  Brad has played there many times, but yesterday was a first for me.  They tout that they are the only true links course in Arkansas.  There definitely weren't many trees....

It was so nice because we never had anyone behind us.  I hate feeling rushed!  Especially if I have my camera which I rarely take to the golf course. Can you imagine how annoying it would be to see some girl snapping pictures on the golf course when she should be hitting the ball??

The weather has been so mild lately, but wouldn't you know it, the day we want to play golf it's high 90's!  Oh well, it looks like it might rain the rest of the week so we might not have another chance to play.

It seemed like this course had a lot of sand because we found it more than once.  Or twice.  Sand is always better than water, though, and I only put one in water!  And we found several balls, so we made up for my lost one.  I remember before I played golf, I would ride with Brad in the cart and the highlight was finding balls.  It's actually still a highlight, but not as much as a birdie or a well hit ball!

I also remember the first time I lost a ball.  I was so excited because it meant the ball had went far enough to get out of our sight!  Now, it just makes me mad. 

We actually scored pretty well.  We always scramble because my play is unpredictable and would probably slow us down.  One of my goals is to play a round on my own.  Maybe after some more lessons.  


I didn't actually start playing golf until after we moved to Little Rock.  I had been to the driving range a few times in Batesville, but that was always more frustrating than fun.  Partly because I was trying to play with Brad's clubs.  When I finally decided I wanted to play, I got a cheap set of ladies clubs and a pair of golf shoes and have been hooked ever since.  I've since gotten a few better quality clubs (and about 5 more pairs of shoes!) but still use the irons from my first set.  I'll get some new ones when I prove I'm worth the price!
