Played the Blue Course at Bethpage

Shot 90. Not my greatest round. Walked 18 holes in 90 degree heat for almost 6 hours. It was miserable, but I like the course alot. All of the courses were packed today and it produced a tournament-like feel. I was really nervous teeing off on the first tee because there was a good crowd of people watching while they waited for their tee time. Luckily I didn't top it or hit a major slice or hook off the tee. I hit a pretty solid drive about 270 or so that barely ended up in the left cut of rough. I was so relieved that I made it off the tee box and didn't make a fool out of myself from the get go. I played with the two other interns and another guy named Mel, who was an older man that avoided his daughter's bridal shower today by playing a round of golf. He was a nice New Yorker to play with, but he was about to kill the group ahead of us because they were the slowest human beings on earth, not to mention they were horrible golfers. Kyle and Rebecca (the other interns) were pretty solid golfers, so I was the scrub of the bunch, but it was still fun. Rebecca used to play golf at LSU, so she dominated both Kyle and me. Overall today was nice day for golf. I wish I could have done a little better, but whatever. I'll take playing a round at Bethpage any day. I need to practice alot more before we play the Black course in a few weeks. I would love to do better than 90, but I have a feeling it could be much worse.
