For those of us in New England and hate to say this, our season is almost done. As I’m driving to work this morning I saw the outside temp at 38 degrees so that got me thinking...
I started thinking about my summer. I thought last year was a lot of fun but this summer definitely topped it. Here are a few highlights;
- Got my first hole in one in a member/guest tournament with Josh aka Hotsauce and Mike D. What a thrill that was and a moment I’ll never forget. I did receive my Titleist hole in one bag tag and it's hanging with pride at home.
- Played TPC Boston and River Highland a few times. What a treat to play those courses w/ some great guys (Josh G., Chris Hatem CT) and looking forward to hitting them again next summer.
- Broke 80 twice. This was one of my goals this year; break 80 at least once. I don’t get to practice often and when I get the chance to play, I rather hit the links than the range. I was able to break 80 twice, sure felt good. Looking for the next one.
- The chance to meet Jordan Speith and Zach Johnson during a Titleist shoot. It was a quick meet/greet but I can’t begin to tell you how nice they were. True professionals and it was a lot of fun watching them hit balls during the shoot. Their swing is absolutely beautiful to watch; flawless and so damn smooth… Thanks to the Team Titleist staff for such a great day.
- Played in my first 3 day member/guest tournament. I didn’t play well but it was a fun experience and hope to do it again next year.
- Got picked for the Team Titleist Spotlight.
- Played in the Team Titleist Invitational @ TPC Boston. Just an awesome day with some great people.
- Finally got on the waiting list at Portsmouth CC. It’s my home course and cannot wait to be a member there someday. Someday I would love to host a TT event at Portsmouth and would love for you guys to come up.
- Did a lot of gambling (small money) this summer on the course and lost a lot but it taught me a few good things; know your limits and play smart.
- Last but not least. One of my big goals this summer was just to have more fun on the course and I think I managed to do that. It’s amazing how well you can play when you’re more relaxed and just having fun.
I’m sure they’ll be more highlights after this weekend though; Saturday playing in Josh’s aka Hotsauce tournament at his home course and really looking forward to that and Sunday playing in my first Cameron Collectors tournament down in Easton, MA. I’m definitely going out with a bang :).
Would love to hear from Team Titleist; Any highlights from this summer? Were your goals accomplished? Good stories on the course? Please share...
I hope everyone (for those that have the short New England season) had a great summer. All the best!
