Hittin' the links!

I swear...this blog has a 7-day delay..my apologies! Last Saturday, I had my first experience golfing! For the past few months, Taylor and I have been taking many trips to the driving range near his house, and I am actually starting to get the hang of it (read: I hit the ball 90% of the time and sometimes it even goes straight!). So, I decided to try to take my driving range and mini golf skills out on an actual course. I should caveat the phrase "actual course" because the course chose was actually a "pitch-and-putt" course, which means that each hole is a par 3 of about 40-80 yards. You're only supposed to use a 9-iron, a pitching wedge, and a putter for the whole course. Taylor and I were paired with an older man named Rich for the course. Rich was better than either of us, but we had a great time playing with him. He actually decided that I am a "natural" because I did have a few good hits. He recommended that I take golf lessons to hone my skills before I get too far along in my golfing career. We'll see if that happens, but we did have a great time and I would definitely go back! Well, I'm home this weekend in Ohio, so I will definitely keep you up to date on my adventures!
