I've gotten a program for my Mac to track my golf progress and calculate my handicap. It's called Scorecard and one of the lead guys involved in the project is the owner of TheSandTrap, which is a very popular golf blog / review site / forum.One nice feature is that it lets you export all of your scores to a web page. Check mine out HERE.
It's always a blast when you see men running around in skirts on your way to breakfast early in the morning. This is what was waiting for me Saturday morning in the lobby of the Hershey Lodge: a groom and his best man in kilts! I took a quick picture and went on my way so that I could fuel up before heading to the driving range.
Speaking of the driving range, if you have the opportunity to stay at either the Hershey Lodge or the Hotel Hershey, make sure to bring a club or two along with you even if you don't think you'll have enough time to fit an entire round of golf in. You get access to the Hershey Country Club as well. For the bargain price of $10, you get full-day access to the driving range, chipping green, and putting green. This includes unlimited balls.

Well, not exactly. Although I did in fact golf on Friday. That was the day that this years' annual G1 (personnel section) golf tournament. They do it as a fund raiser every year. In addition to the golf there was also a silent auction of various pictures, guitars, and football goodies signed by famous people.
I ended up having a blast in spite of the 96 degree heat and our team not playing so well. It was pretty amazing that I ended up playing the best of the foursome despite having the least amount of golfing experience. My favorite shot was putting my tee shot on a par 3 within 10 feet of the cup using a 6 iron at about 175 yards out. That ended up being the only hole we would birdie all day. That's pretty terrible for a scramble event. But as I said, I still had a good time and hope to start golfing on at least a semi-regular basis.

Yep, that's right. When Becky and I went to the pocono mountains during a mini-vacation over the 4th of July I decided to drag her out to the links with me. She was a trooper and although was challenged just to hit the ball, overall did much better than expected. It was a very fun time. She decided to take an action shot and it came out pretty well I think?
