The Longest Day Tournament

Brettwood CC in Keene NHThe Friday following the Summer Solstice we usually have a few foursomes that go out to Brettwood Country Club in Keene, New Hampshire and play 54 holes of golf. We have been doing this for many years and it can be very tiring.

This year as in the past few years I have taken my motorhome out to  the golf course to spend the night so I can be fresh and ready to go first thing in the morning. The one complaint I have is that the workers at the course arrive at about 4:30 AM and they drive their tractors right by the motorhome and it wakes us up. I think next year I’ll park fyrtheraway or try to find a more quiet spot.

This year I haven’t played or practiced near enough as I have in past years. A lot has to do with Real Estate sales being slow and cutting back on spending. My game has suffered but not as bad as I thought it could be. Golf being such a mental game requires me to look at my game a little differently than when I used to practice a lot. I need to focus more on the fundamentals of the game and to think more than I used to.
