First Round of the Year!!!

posted in Uncategorized |

Since I live in Western New York the first day of golf season after a long snow filled winter is like my own personal Christmas. Christmas finally came yesterday! Glen Oak was the first course in the area to open its doors for the season, so of course I ventured out there played my first round of the year.

The course was in surprisingly good condition considering it was just last week that we had about a foot of snow. Of course there were some wet spots but that is expected with early spring golf. I think that the greens were what I was most surprised by. The greens seem to take the snow the hardest and usually have spots on them that are burnt out, but not yesterday. All of the greens were in very good shape for the first day of the year.

After not really doing much this winter with my swing I was very surprised how well I was hitting the ball. But needless to say the rust was ever present on and around the greens. But all in all I was just happy to be out on the course.
