Not exactly championship material... yet

Not much is going on right now that we want to write about, so we haven't posted much. Edith and I have been playing more golf lately, sometimes on the weekends, and sometimes 9 holes after work on the weekdays. Edith has been getting better with more practice, and recently seriously outplayed me on one hole.

The third hole on the South Course at Stow Acres CC is a downhill par 3, 101 yards from the forward tee and 159 from the back. I air-mailed the green, since I have also been playing somewhat better with practice, and don't always trust my iron shots to fly as far as they have been lately, on average. Here I am looking for my ball (sorry for the bad cell phone photos):



Meanwhile, Edith had this for birdie:




The gallery fell silent with anticipation as she took her practice stroke (the mark next to her foot is me, lying 3 already):




Needless to say, she sank it and won the hole with a net 0 after handicap (I usually give her two strokes, although we don't really play for any prize). Her first birdie!!! Well done!
