training for the lpga....

andrew is a huge fan of golf. he's played practically his entire life, and he's pretty darn good.  whenever the weather is nice, he'd rather be out on the course then doing anything else, which isn't so good for me since i like to partake in different activities.  ever since we've been together we've ventured out onto the course for some quality time together and just escape the issues of the day!  the sport has grown on me, and i actually started to enjoy it (mostly cuz i can hang out with him!).

i first started getting into golf when my friend from high school (chris) taught me how to play.  we'd go out during the summer and hit balls and catch up at the driving range. i would mostly tag along and use his clubs (obviously too big for me since he's over 6ft) and swing and a miss!  then i started hitting the balls rather far, and i thought hmmm...maybe i could get into this.

i then started working at a rec center where i would get discounts on classes, i didn't realize this until the last summer i worked there, and decided to take some lessons with a golf pro.  weather would have its way, and a few of the classes got canceled, so i only had about 3 under my belt.  what i did learn though i took with me and hopefully some day you'll see me one lpga tour!

the other day andrew and i couldn't agree on something to do, so we both decided to head out to the driving range and take a few swings at the ball, and i'd say i did pretty well!  i was hitting the ball straighter and further than i had before, as well as missing less, and being able to use every club (not just the driver!).  big accomplishment.

i get bored pretty quickly, in whatever activity i do, and so after an hour i was done and wanted to go home, but andrew wanted to stay, i sat around next to the putting green and cheered him on (silently) and took pictures of my view!

we hope to get out lots this summer, with friends, each other, whoever to enjoy the nice weather and and even better day on the course!

(sidenote: i plan to buy some golf shoes (once i can find a woman's pair that isn't pink! blah) and a cute golf skirt so i feel more festive!)
