Blades of Grass and a Three Wood Golf Opener

rum river hills
I played golf for the first time this season last Monday at Rum River Hills. It seemed like an eternity since my last round in October 2010. You always wonder what your game will look like after a long delay, and I had no idea if I remembered how to hit the ball.
The course was not busy, and it seemed like we rented the entire place for the day, which was great, and the fairways and greens looked good after a long mean winter.
My best shot of the day was a full rip 3 wood from 270 out over water to a small green. It was a bit short, but just a 30ft chip and a putt left for my birdie. After this hole I felt like I was unstoppable, but of course had a few bumps and bogeys left to be had.
After the round I counted 28 photos in my camera phone memory stick .. these are a few of the best shots.

what a great day for golf! My hubby is the golfer, but was only out once last year for 9 holes. he had total knee replacement last spring, so I think he rehabbed well to get in any rounds at all! Faythe @ GMT
