First Round of Golf

Well, I broke from my tradition of not golfing on the weekends in order to take advantage of the beautiful weather to get my first round in.  Harry and I rendezvoused at the A&W at the south end of town and I threw the clubs into his truck (I forgot to throw in my golf shoes).  I used my carry bag with my driver, 5 hybrid (from church rummage sale),  6, 9, sw, chipper & putter (also from church rummage sale) and off we drove to Birch Hills.  I purchased a 10 game card and we had time for coffee before teeing off.  First hole, I used the 5 hybrid for the first 2 shots (2nd one beautiful over the trees stopping close to the green.  I was struggling with my weight with the chipper and I didn't have my driver working.  I had 1 GIR and 2 pars,  otherwise mediocre round. My excuses - first round, different clubs, too few clubs, no golf shoes :)
