Golfing Hobble Creek with Dan

Today Dan took me golfing at Hobble Creek Golf Course in Springville, Utah, to celebrate my birthday. We try to play a round of 18 holes once or twice a year at least, and many times we'll have Dave or Trent with us. With Richard up in Pleasant View now, it is rare that I get to play a round with him anymore. (He was really nice to take me many times when I was junior high age. Back then, it wasn't uncommon for me to completely miss the ball. :) ) Anyway...here I am just before tee-ing off sometime on the front nine.


Here's Dan getting ready to sink a put or something on the front nine. :)


Dan and I didn't get to warm up at all, and so the first nine holes were a bit funny/frustrating. But then things got interesting on the back nine. I knocked in a birdy put, Dan chipped in from the edge of the green to save par, and I nailed my 3 wood almost 300 yards. The shot I hit in this picture got me on the back edge of the green.

If only we could've played another nine holes, because Dan was hitting the ball very well on the back nine and I wasn't that far behind. In fact, Dan stated unequivocally that he is just plain good. Of course, I immediately agreed with him. And just so you know, I'm way good, too. ;-)
