Erik and I made a second attempt at the golf course today and without the rain we managed to go all 9 holes.
I was off for a great start on the 1st hole where I played on the actual par! That was 4 points secured, 14 more needed to reach my goal of 18 and the chance to get a green card.
The 2nd hole was a bit of a disaster and I scored an even 0.
After that I mixed good swings with bad but played a couple of holes on my par and a few just one above giving me 2 and 1 points per hole. I only scored 0 points on that 2nd hole.
As we came up to the 9th hole Erik, who had kept track of the scores since we only had one score card, asked if I wanted to know how I was doing but I didn’t want to add more pressure on myself so I said no.
As I hit the ball from tee it looked quite good. It was straight and looked about the correct length. It was slightly off though and I landed in a nasty bunker next to green.
With a bit of luck I managed to get out of the green with just one swing and then cupped with two puts putting me on my par securing another two points.
At that Erik walked up to me, reached out his hand and said “Congratulations on 19 points”.
I did it! On the first attempt! And it was fun!

I went out on the golf course to go 9 holes today. My very first time.
I didn’t do too well one the first two holes. 3 over par on hole one and never got the ball in the cup on hole 2.
On hole three I had a terrible first swing, as usual. However, Erik lent me a second ball just for good fun and that one nearly hit the green on a 207 m. long hole. Too bad I couldn’t count it 
As we walked to take our second shots the sky opened up. Rain poured down and there was thunder roaring above us. We decided to call it quits when we were soaked after about 10 seconds.
All in all good fun but I wouldn’t call it a successful first attempt

I’m one small step closer to the big money.
I completed the golf test today with flying colors and I am now allowed out on the playing field.
It’s just a matter of time now before I can compete in the Masters.
Happy days & Good times!

I started a golf course last weekend and I’ll finish it this weekend.
Attending a course won’t make me a player or give me a green card but it’s a start, I hope to have the green card by midsummer
