On Saturday we played 18 holes at Sandy Ridge. Nine holes would have been plenty. The weather forecast was calling for a high just over 50. It never went above 42 and with the wind chill it had to feel about 35 or colder. I shot a 41 on the front 9 finishing double bogey and bogey. I started out good on the back being 2 over after 5 holes. I think that’s when the cold really started to set in and I finished with double bogeys on each of the last 4 holes to shoot 46. I could barely close my hands at the end of the round.

Yesterday was a bit warmer and we shot 9 holes at Beech Hollow. I shot 9 over on the three par 5s and 3 over on the other six holes with one birdie. Took a nine on the last hole to shoot 49, one stroke short of a half-century.

I definitely need to hit the driving range and work on my tee shots with the driver. I topped a few yesterday and it was ugly!

It would be nice if the weather warmed up pretty soon too. I have a Tuesday night league starting next week at Twin Oaks and a Thursday night league starting the week after at the Bay City Country Club.
