First 18 of the Year

Saturday I headed out to play a little golf with Mike. Here are some of the highlights of two amateurs at work.



6:30 on 5th Ave and tired. It's at about this point I start to wonder why am I up this early, and start gauging if I'm going to miss the train, due to a run in with a typical early morning deli employee who managed to process my order of a buttered bagel and large in coffee, in about the same time it takes most people to brush their teeth, and shave.


Next stop Far Hills, NJ


Newark, NJ a great place to live and work...right?


It always amazing to me when I'm going somewhere, and bam out of nowhere one of these religious centers pop-up. Tucked right into the Newark skyline.


Gangster graveyard, and a nice shot of the Pulaski Skyway.


Getting closer.


Mike gooned up and ready to take some of my money with his dangerous golfing skills.





The setting for the battle, Neshanic Valley


"Back to the Beach" Mike off to a sandy start.


Home sweet home, the ruff. A typical start, and what you can't see is that I'm about 30 yards in front of the ladies tee. Way to go Dave!


Mike starts to straighten things out, finds himself a nice piece of fairway.


Setting up the machine.


Mike coming close to losing a valuable stroke.


The machine in action.


Warming up to put the pressure on in the last crucial holes.


Executing a little chip action, placing the ball safely on the green...after hitting it again on the other side of the green, due to some mismanagement of power.


Taking a practice swing to ensure victory on the home stretch 18th hole.

At the end of 18, Dave, managed to surface victorious with a win over Mike. Dave 102, Mike 106, we know we need lessons. Stay tuned for the return to Neshanic.


I even managed to get home before the rain came.
