What did you get on that hole?

Yesterday I took a friends 11 year old boy out to play nine holes of golf. I use to love to play golf, and when I use to live in New Jersey. I would play sometimes three time a week. When I first took up the game I was getting pretty good scores and then I started to count ALL of my strokes in a round, and discovered that I was not very good. I continued to play the game for 25 or 35 years with scores ranging from my best of 81 to many games in the 110's. And those scores could be on consecutive days. Needless to say I was never called Mr Consistency. But I just loved to be out of doors and with friends for 4 to 5 hours.

With the game of golf the only exercise you get is walking, that is if you walk the course and not take a golf cart, and actually swinging the club, which probably be 15 minutes in a 18 hole round.

I played like I said 3 or 4 times a week in Jersey but when I moved to Maine I just stopped playing. I have lived in Maine for 6 years now and have played 3 times counting yesterday. And I have a 9 hole course within a mile of my home. Well anywho I take my friends kid out to play 9 holes yesterday and may have renewed my passion for the game. The following are the strokes I took on all nine holes;

1.par 5...11 Nothing like getting started on the right foot.
2.par 4...11 This going to be brutal.
3.par 4...4 Look out Uncle Willie is back.
4.par 4...9 Uncle Willie is not back.
5.par 5...7 Not bad.
6.par 4...5 " "
7.par 4...6 " "
8.par 3...6 These numbers are getting big. I"ll let the kid add them up.
9.par 3...4 I think I will play again soon.
63

I bet the kid that the loser would buy a ice cream after the round. I did not buy the ice cream this day and I rubbed it in for the rest of the day. Those 11 years old's can't take the constant barrage of insults all day. They get real emotional and start to cry after 4 hours. Welcome to the real world punk. For Uncle Willie and my moose tracks ice cream it was a good day.
