Granite State South Golf Tournament Results

As you know yesterday I turned 54 and I started my day off by playing in the Granite State South Board of REALTORS golf tournament at Windham Country Club. I was invited to play by Steve Blier from GMAC Mortgage and we played with two other guys called Pete. Pete Currier and Pete (I can’t remember his last name, sorry).

We started off on Hole 16 and Pete led off followed by Steve then me and then our anchor Peter Currier. Currier and I had great drives with our 3 woods. We didn’t use driver because of the water hazard in Driver range. I hit a five iron on the green pin high to the left. We had four shots at birdie but we let it slip by the hole and settled for par.

GSSBR Golf Tournament

Well, today is my birthday and I turn 54 and I am playing in the Granite State South Board of REALTORS golf tournament. I was invited to play by Steve Blier a mortgage officer with Carlson GMAC Mortgage. Last year Steve invited me and if memory serves me right we may have finished in 4th or 5th place. Not bad considering some groups are pretty well stacked with excellent golfers.

We’ll see how we play today and hopefully we will do real well. We are playing at Windham Country Club in Windham, NH

Atkinson NH Golfing…it can’t get any better

Real estate is networking and where better to meet future customers and clients than on a Golf Course. One of my favorite local places is the Atkinson Resort and Country Club. Not only does it have a great place to celebrate the 19th hole but it’s also a pretty tough course.

Today I’ll tell you about hole # 1

It is very short and a lower handicap player should use no more than a 3 wood off the back tees. I see so many players hit driver and get themselves in a lot of trouble.

So if you set up your shot right you’ll be able to to come into this green with a short iron.

From the back tees it plays about 350 yards and trees abound the right side and the left has a line of trees and a road that is O.B. which leads to the clubhouse.

A long sand trap hugs the left side of the fairway at about 150 yards out and many a tee ball finds it way in the sand. The right front of the green is also guarded by a large bunker and the green is firm and slopes front to back. So, a nice lofted approach shot is necessary.

The course is 6500 yards from the back tees.

Next I’ll break down the next few holes for you.

Golf Season is here and the Atkinson Resort and Country Club is a great place to spend a few relaxing hours golfing.

Golf the way it should not be played

My wife Monika saw this on another social network and I thought I’d play it here. There are some funny things on this you tube video.

I have actually done a couple of these things, can you guess which ones I have done?

Atkinson Resort and Country Club

Today I played the Atkinson Resort and Country Club in Atkinson, NH. This is a pretty tough course from the white markers playing 6088 yards with a course rating of 70.2 and a slope of 133. I played with my golfing buddy Pete who aced the par 3 8th hole earlier this year to finally join the Acemaker club. Congrats to Pete. Pete is coming off of 3 broken ribs and wrist surgery from a basketball accident last year. We were supposed to play back in July but his ribs kept us from playing together. Then our businesses kept us the rest of the year from playing together too. Today we finally were able to play 18.

Wilderness Golf League Nearing the Final Weeks

I hate it when they aerate the greens at Campbell’s Scottish Highlands golf course. It will surely add at least two to three shots per round until the holes close up. The greens are so bumpy and putts heading for the hole can veer off within a blink of an eye. The worst part is not so much the aeration but the golfers who do not fix their ball marks. This really irks me as it ruins the greens and I think a lot of beginners or some experienced golfers just don’t care.Our league is in it’s final 2 weeks and our team will finish next to last this half. Oh well, there is always next year.

My league average this year with little to no practice and only playing 9 holes a week with only playing 4 rounds of 18 holes is 42 on the front and 41 on the back. That is awful, for me anyway.

Interestingly enough last year with a ton of practice and a lot of golfing I averaged 41.83 for the front and 41.33 on the back. That is weird…. I guess I am very consistent.

2005 I was 41 on the front and 39.11 on the back.

2004 I was 41.25 on the front and 40.22 on the back.

2003 I was 40.22 on the front and 40.89 on the back. Looks like I had some trouble on the back nine.

This year has been my worst year scoring in the last 4 years.
