More Golf

This may be boring to some but it has always been a passion of mine and almost an obsession since being here, especially since most of my other hobbies are not possible. Back on December 2nd I made my first Ace (hole in one) its a fairly difficult 152 yard par 3 accross water to a raised brown that you cant see from the tee. I hit a nice 8 iron fade that hit the front and rolled into the cup. As I mentioned you cant see the brown from the tee, we only knew it went in because all 4 caddies and the sweeper were jumping up and down waving thier arms screaming "Hole in one!, Hole in one!, Hole in one!"



Over the next few months my game really started to come together I have won a half dozen tournaments. I can now drive the brown on most of the Par 4 holes, however the Par 3s still elude me more often than not. This has resulted in 2 Eagles (2 under par) in two months, one Par 4 and one Par 5 and earned me the title of  the longest hitter the course has ever seen. I am averaging between 270 and 330 yards with a bit of consistancy.


Last month I wanted to set a personal and a course golf record for most holes played in a day. With the help of my caddie Ebrima and sweeper Modou we played 54 holes in 8 hours. That is 3 full rounds of 18 holes, walking. It was a bit warm with a heat index in the triple digits, a great day though. Ebrima and Modou were very proud and excited as they now share the course record for most holes ever played in a day.
