It was thanksgiving long weekend this past weekend, and it was beautiful weather for golf. I ended up going out 3 times this weekend. Saturday I was up at around 6:45 and couldnt get to sleep so I called the executive course to see if I could get on around 7:30. I did quite well. Its a par 34 9 hole course and I shot a 41, which is great for me. Then I went out again on Sunday with my cousin to a course we dont normally play and shot a 92. My drives were great all day, hitting 270 - 300 yards, but it was again my short game that added up the strokes. Then yesterday morning I went out with my girlfriends dad and her sisters boyfriend and shot one of the worst games I have had all season. I ended up with a 102. I couldnt find a fairway to save my life and I ended up 3 putting a few times. Again it looks like we will have great weather next weekend so I will probably get another round or 2 in before seasons end.

Thanks for the reply! I should have been more specific. The group I caught up to, I didnt play with them. I was just waiting at every hole behind them. I'm not exactly sure as to why I played better on the back nine this time. Usually I score higher on the back 9 at this course, as it is much more difficult than the front 9. I think its just that I was warmed up and more relaxed on the back nine this time. I have another round booked with my cousin for Sunday morning at 8am at another course in the city that we dont usually play. We will see how this one goes.

I went out for a solo round yesterday, something I haven't done in a long time. I had a great time. It was cold out, so there weren't a lot of people out there. I managed to finish the front 9 in just over an hour and shot a 49 (which is average for me). I caught up to a group of 3 that was playing quite slow, so the back 9 took a lot longer. I ended up with a 44 on the back 9 (which is a good score for me right now) for a total of 93. Not my best round, but far from my worst. My short game is what was killing me again. Duffing chip shots is where I turn birdies into bogies every time. The weather looks like it will hold up for another week here, so I might be able to get one more round in next weekend.

I took last Friday off from work to golf with my cousin at our favourite local course, Holiday Park. We had a tee off time for 10:30. We were at about the 12th hole and decided we would try and get another 18 in. Ended up hitting 36 holes that day. I shot a 97 on our first 18 and a 95 on the second, which is about average for me. I had a couple bad chip shots that should have been avoided, but I guess that's why golf is a four letter word! The weather is turning to crap up here (Saskatoon, Sk) already, its currently 3 degrees C here, but I hope to get one more round in this weekend.
