I just finished my 40th round of 2008 yesterday. I thought it was time to
look at the stats and see where I suck the most. Most of these rounds are
at Twin Bridges Golf Course in Gadsden, Alabama. Driving 54% with driver,
76% with 3 wood, course has a lot of water hazards and thick underbrush on
the holes. Average for driver is 242 and for 3 wood is 212. Par 5s hit
in 2 very low at 7%. Greens hit in regulation 48%, up and down is 39%.
Three putt holes 16% or 3 per round. Birdies at a lousy 3.7%. Average
score from the blue tees (6263 yards) is 83.6 Maybe it is time to put
the clubs out on the curb and just play tennis 7 days a week instead of 3.


I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

At this point I'd be happy with those numbers. Living up here on east
coast of Vancouver Island I've played between 25 and 30 rounds so far
this year. Most where played in winter conditions so we play a lot of
match and skins type games no point in a stroke play score or stats.
Though I have to say that the courses we play in the winter are
definitely in better shape in the last couple of years. Lots of
drainage work has been done and it is paying off.

Played 18 last Thursday and then went and played hockey for the first
time in a couple of years and just the second time in last 5 or so. I
was sore in places I forgot I had. Think I'm going to stick with golf
as my main sport.
