Well the long winter and wet spring are both over now and I played in my first tournament of the year down in Quechee VT on the Lake Course
I was paired up with Cody Sleeper playing out of Barre Country club and Sam Meyer.
Having not played much golf yet this year plus having to play without a caddie made me think I might not have a good day but it turned out not to be the case.
I started off with a string of bogey’s but managed to get myself corrected before I got too far into the round made some decent drives and a couple of nice putts to keep myself in the mix.
I was striking my custom made driver, a “Bang 450 ~ 12 deg driver with a Graman “Limey” Shaft pretty well.

I was a little back from my playing partners but I was the young guy in the 3~some by a couple of years.
After I got settled in and my swing started to get more steady, plus my new found buddy and fellow competitor Cody helped me get my yardages with his Sky Caddy, I started scoring a little better.
I go lucky on a putt or two coming in too.

I ended up playing pretty well overall.
Came in at a 79 finishing in 2nd place from a 13 yr old boy from MD. So I was happy with my day and we went to the driving range after the round and hit a couple buckets of balls in the rain to try and groove my swing since I was hitting the ball pretty well.
Finished up there and went over to the Pro shop and spend my winnings before heading home with plenty of work to do before Monday when I go down to play my first U Kids tournament in Boston.
