Man I have been flat out for a few weeks now, played Team Baseball this year for the first time.
Whole new experieince for me for sure, picture of me whiffing a pitch, but I made a good effort and did have my eye glued to the ball.
Dad's slider fooled me that's all..:-)
Coaches pitch in this league, or you can use the tee

However Golf is on the burner now, and is in full swing.
I've had a few tournaments so far.

Boston Summer Tour Gardner GC, Gardner MA.9 Hole Score 50, 2nd PlaceHad a rough ride out of the shute just couldn't get the flat stick going, which is not unusual early in the year plus I hadn't had much time to practice either.
Almost everybody had the same problem so I eked out a 2nd place finish, which I am not unhappy with at all, but could have been MUCH better.
Picture of me and Alex who finished 1st and I finished 2nd.

Boston Summer Tour, Bay Pointe CC Onset MA.
9 Hole Event ~ 50 ~ 4th Place
ALmost the same situation as the previous week, my ball striking was spot on, short game was missing and I wasn't really in the event until late in the round, just to late to mount a charge so I had another very poor showing with everyone stepping up their game but me.
Even with my feel gone I managed to finish in 4th place with another lack luster finish .
I need to do some practice if I want to advance in my ability to score.

9 hole event ~ 51 ~ 2nd Place
Game is starting to come around a bit now, but I'm still not doing what I need to do to be able to compete, so I need to really get to work and get my heart and my head into the game.
This is is a critical point in the season, I didn't get a
picture of this outing.

Boston Tour, Leicester CC Leicester MA.
9 Hole event ~ 41 ~ 1st Place
Finally starting to put some shots together, maybe it was because Mom was on the bag today, or I just finally got my head in the game.
Started off strong and even eagled the second hole today for a good start, and went on to play smooth steady golf right up until the last hole and finished with a bogey but came in with a nice 41 for my first and hopefully not my last top place finish of the year.
Picture of me and the the top 3 spots
