First Round of the Season !!

I took advantage of the great weather yesterday and played my first round of the season. It was not how I like to start however: I arrived late for my tee time, so my playing partner had already teed off. The Pro Shop informed me he was on the 1st green and that the Marshall would drive me to catch up. The Marshall actually let me play the first hole and drove me in his cart for the first hole, great customer service.
However, I am now REALLY rushed, barely enough time to stretch, no range, no chipping, no putting; not the recipe for a great round.
At the 2nd green, I realize that I have left my PW in my trunk. On the 3rd hole the Marshall came by and when told of my predicament, he immediately offered to go and retrieve it for me. I had my PW before I reached the 4th tee.
At this point I knew keeping score was not a good idea and started concentrating on hitting solid shots. This seemed to work as I had a decent back nine. The greens were bumpy and had quite a bit of winter kill but the rest of the course was in good condition and better than I thought it would be in April. Check out my next post for a review of this course.
