Golf

Phil Mickelson wins his first major today at The Masters.

Absolutely fantastic putt on the 18th hole to win.

Played the nine hole course at Fresh Pond today in Cambridge, MA after work today. Decent course for the money.

Tuesday was quite the day at Devens, Massachusetts as Fritz, Ted, and I had our first encounter with the Red Tail Golf Club – currently rated as the number one course in Massachusetts according to GolfBoston.com.

As you can see from the pictures below, the course is simply gorgeous and in incredible condition.

The view below is from the 10th tee, which overlooks the 18th green. Fritz and Ted would have an unfortunate encounter with that pond as we finished our day. By a stroke of luck, I was able to carry my three wood about 180 yards across the water and landed about 15 yards from the green. Really my only good shot of the day.

Golf Digest has written a great review of Red Tail. More pictures are available.

Playing Red Tail Golf Club tomorrow morning. Top ten course in Massachusetts. Should be a blast.

Personal days are great.

Went ahead and ordered the Great Big Bertha II Driver with an 11 degree loft, along with the matching 3 and 5 Woods along with a larger bag from Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Also snagged the 2 Iron and 3 Iron for my 2002 Big Bertha Irons so that I have a complete bag. Definately have to continue with my lessons now.

Two days of golf has left me with a sore shoulder and feeling fairly tired today.

On Friday, took a personal day and played at The New England Country Club and then yesterday at Poquoy Brook.

Golf has finally become a hobby. After some successful stuff at work, I treated myself to new irons from Galyan’s – went with the Big Bertha Irons in Graphite. Bit pricey, but wonderful clubs.

Looking now at fairway woods, I am pretty fond of the Great Big Bertha II line, but I need to demo them first. Perhaps a new driver in the spring.

Definately need to continue with lessons though.
