Really, it was good for him and I think he had a good time despite having to wait for my four hits to his one. As we were getting ready to leave, I had thrown on a t-shirt and jeans. Mike comes down in khaki pants and a polo and looked at me with raised eyebrows. Rarely do I get told I'm under dressed, so I headed back upstairs to change. When I came down in jeans he told me he didn't think my swing would be as good as it would if I were wearing khaki's or something like that. Really - if wearing jeans was the biggest problem with my swing I'd be out buying khaki's left and right. He did agree with that and we left.
It was a beautiful day! We had two hours of us being the only ones on the course so we had plenty of time on each shot for me to get more than a few pointers - all needed and greatly appreciated. My swing did improve throughout our time. I even had a couple shots where my ball flew UP into the air, not merely skimming along the ground. During those amazing shots it was a good thing we were the only ones on the course because I was whooping it up!
See that glove? That's an old glove from my sister that she let me borrow a few years ago and I have yet to return. At one point Mike told me I had to mark my ball and I told him I didn't have one of those small things to lay on the ground. He said it was on my glove! Wow! I always wondered what that snap was for - I just assumed it was a broken part of the glove and the reason Tracy loaned it out!
On one hole I did manage to hit the ball off the tee and it landed on the green - but the best part was that it landed closer than Mike's ball! The difference being that Mike's ball made this lovely fly HIGH into the air and landed with a little "plop" and stayed in place. Mine skimmed the ground, bounced, raced down the hill, landed on a hard piece of ground and amazingly bounced up onto the green. It was brutal and ugly, but did I mention it was closer than Mike's shot?
Our final scores? Mike: 35 Kerry: 52. Par was 30. Clearly I have a little work to do.
The golf pro was trying to sell us on a membership for next summer. After we were done golfing Mike said, "When I retire I'm going to get the membership, I'm going to cancel the gym membership and golf every single day." That's sounds awesome. I hope he lets me go with him sometime.
