"NEXT ON THE TEE"

Man I don’t even know where to start we have been really busy golfing and running the roads.

OK so let’s  just go from the July 9th backwards to my last blog post.

July 9th,  2012 ~ Williston,  VT.

I played in the VT. Junior Pro Am event at Williston Golf Course, a place I had never played before, with a couple of other amateurs I had played with before.

I was playing with Cody Sleeper and Troy Evans along with Roger “Mule” King the Course Professional at my Home Course "Country Club of Barre".

They course was well maintained and in good condition and there was a great turnout for the event.

Roger played pretty well  and it's a good thing he did since he pulled most of the weight all day and it earned him a new nickname "Mule".

We did managed to help just enough to finish in Net  3rd place, but with just a little more support by us we could have moved up easily

Thanks! Roger! for taking care of the event for us, we had lots of fun and learned a lot along the way as well.

Saturday July 7th "The Links" Outing

We (Me, Riley and my Dad) were invited by Steve Gonsalves PGA of "Gonzo's" and the "Links at Lang Farms"

for an outing, and we were really looking forward to that and having a good day, and it was.

We had a double match going, a two man best ball team event with Me and Dad teamed up against Steve and Riley, and a personal match between me and Steve playing for very large stakes  (candy bar's) so we had to bring our "A" Games.

We had some time to warm up since Steve was busy giving lessons when we arrived so we took advantage of that at the range and on the green.

Results of the match below.

 

 We want to thank Steve for the great day and all the good advice which I can use for future rounds  both competitive and otherwise.

Fast Backwards to July 5th VT, Junior Coca Cola Tour at Green Mountain National.

I had an early tee time for my round Thursday so we had to roll out early for our drive to Killington,  and Green Mountain National one of my favorite courses to play in Vermont.

 

I have no pictures or video of the event since the "Photographer' forgot his camera.

I was paired with Jack ... and nice guy and a great player from the Rutland area there were only two of  us at our tee time so we were never rushed etc during the round.

 

I didn't have a great round but shot an 80 which was  good enough to win my Bracket.

I struck the ball well but had a few costly mental errors which kept me from going 2 or 3 strokes better this day.

 

Sound Familiar?

On Back to July 2nd at Gardner CC 9in Gardner MA.

We had an early tee time as well so we had to drive down Sunday night and stayed in Devon MA. which was about 24 miles from the course so we didn't have a ton of time to get there and warm up before ourround but it was enough I guess.

 

It was a beautiful day and I was paired with Xavier Marcoux from MA. and

Joshua Philips also from MA.

None of us had what you would call a great round just sort of paddled along for 18 holes.
I never really got my game in gear on approach shots or got good reads on the green and ended up with a
79 good enough for 2nd place, but have some work to do to get where I want to be.

Xavier finished 3rd but had to leave early Remainder's are  Joshua, me and James Imai

 

 

Fortunately there is lots of golf left before summer is over.

Heading to Cape Cod and going to my Cousins  Graduation in DE this week back in the mix next week at Hillview CC in MA and a Coca Cola Tour event at Vermont National in Burlington VT.

 

See ya then. R~man
