Gosh! Is everyone out playing?

Just an update on how I'm playing (seems like there's not much posting done here). I went to a newer course in Buena Vista Va this weekend that opened up last fall. A links type course with tall grass and a lot of target shots - oh, the greens were hard as rock. Anyway, I went with family and friends and we had a great time. My brother in law played his best 9 ever on the front and shot a 40. My other friends shot a 107 and a 102. I played really well, missed 1 fairway and had one 3 putt and ended up with a 77 (37 and 40). It was hot and they were complaining about the heat but I kept drinking water and had a protein shake at the turn. My stamina is really good and my waist keeps getting smaller (from a 58 to a 44 in just over 3 months)! I hoep the few of you that post here are hitting them well! Dave

What a score! I'm 4 weeks post op and played 18 on Sat and 18 on Sun (110 & 104). About 10 strokes higher than usual....but did I mention I'm 4 wks post op and it was 97 degrees? I'm just glad to be out golfing. I found that I have to sip a boost high protein drink throught the day to keep my energy up (I know your not suppose to but I figure these are drastic weather conditions) and of course water. It doesn't hurt for me to swing a club so I'm happy! I hope to hit better as I lose more weight...maybe one day even as low as you Dave! Sue

Sue: I still drink a protein shake at the turn every round. I figure as hot as it's been here and with me not eating too much, I need to drink water all of the time and protein for energy. Keep hacking away like we all do and the scores will get lower. I think if you play 3 times a week or more, your score has to go lower just because your swing gets better. Dave
