I play occasionally. 9 holes every Tuesday, then into the
club house for drinks while the wives have dinner for "Ladies Night". 9 holes every Wednesday, then to the clubhouse for couples night dinner. 18 holes every Saturday and Sunday. Occasionally an emergency 9 on Mon/Tuesday or Friday. Almost never play on Thursday, though - that would be excessive.
My home course is
Gates Four. Here in Fayetteville NC, I can play a different course every day of the month and never travel more than 30 miles. Or, I can make a 1 hour drive to Pinehurst or 2 hours to Myrtle Beach and have an additional 200 courses or so to choose from.
It's not all good, however. Sometimes, in the dead of winter, we might have stretches of 12-15 hours when it is just too cold to play.
I've been as good as a 5, and as bad as it gets. Right now, I'm stuck in the high single digits. I play TaylorMade Tour Burner Irons (4-AW), an Adams Hybrid 3I that I dug out of my fathers bag, a Callaway square driver (can't remember the model), a Ping 3 wood (can't remember the model), a Cobra S9 60 degree lob wedge, and a Cleveland 56 degree sand wedge, and a mix of putters.
I played football and boxed growing up. Played a year of college ball. My commander asked me to play golf when I was a Drill Sergeant - told him no because:
a. I was a real athlete
b. I was young
I gave it a try anyway. Hardest thing I've ever tried to master.
