Amazing how the price of memory and especially SD cards has dropped. 8GB stores a ton of stuff. I think I’ll pick up one or two for my PDA so I can store more video and music.
The cold weather is taking a bite out of my game and I have not had the ability to practice or play with the advent of the year end holidays. I went out yesterday, after spending some time in the gym, and had some trouble getting the ball to go straight. I was saved from further mishap by a
phone call so I had to leave the range.
I have made some updates to the blog on the back end so I hope to provide more frequent updates in the future. Until then …
I ended up buying a Hippo HEX2 driver on a lark. I just could not pass up the price and the HEX2 has a different look to say the least (see below). I have hit the club out on the range a few times and actually learned to hit it “fair”. Like the rest of my game to date I am improving. I went to play my first real golf game two weeks ago and shot around a 130 and lost 12 balls to various parts of the course. Last week I shot a 115 and only lost 4 balls. Not bad for a weeks time and a bit of practice. I am really enjoying getting back into the game. Playing a round of golf takes longer then I expected (3 to 4 hours) even riding a cart. I am even getting more exercise then I expected since there is still a lot of walking even using a cart.
My next club to look at is probably a putter. My current putter was made in the 1970’s and was a hand-me-down from my father. I will continue to practice with it for a while then look into a good putter. I also need some good fairway wood or a set of hybrids but that will be for later.
Until next time … hit’em far and straight.
