I played with my neighbor Mark. It wasn't that great of a day performance-wise for either of us, but it was a beautiful day out with perfect temperatures. I did pull driver out but only 2 times, both when it was absolutely safe. I stuck to my trusty 2iron hybrid by Nickent. I can usually hit that in the fairway off the tee. When I can't I am convinced driver would be worse anyway.
Spending the weekend at Blue Chip in Michigan City, IN. Golfed yesterday, dinner with family and friends (Audrey's sister and her husband, our friends Tina and Ken, and my Dad Roy were there with Audrey and I to celebrate Audrey's birthday)
Every time I come here I love playing Whittaker. It's a great track for $59. We played the green tees, and it was probably well above my skill level. I wound up shooting 99, which wasn't too bad since I butchered the front with a 53. I redeemed myself a bit and shot 46 on the back. I had numerous penalty strokes, so if I could have just kept it in the fairway off the tee, and on the second shot, I would have been near 90.
The course was in tremendous shape and the greens were very smooth. There were only a few spots where it was too wet to take a cart. My drive on 2 plugged in the fairway and I almost couldn't find it.
I did luck out and birdie 9. My tee shot was right of the fairway, next to the cart path. I used the 2 iron hybrid off the tee, so I used it again on the second shot. The ball crept right up and left me with a 6 foot uphiller for bird and I sunk it. That was about the highlight of the day. Took too many sevens on other holes to see any bright lights from them.
