today was awesome. went to golf w/ dr busch at his club on long island. woke up at 5, took the 6am train and dr busch picked me up. played 27 holes! so much fun. made a mess scorewise of the first 9. it was pretty bad even tho i was hitting the ball pretty well(just picked the wrong spots to hit it to). 2nd 9 was much better. 4 or 5 over on the 2nd 9. then came around and played the front 9 again after a quick lunch. this time played the front 9 better too. was again 4 or 5 over. had 4 birdies on the day. played pretty well after not playing since march. hit all my clubs well at times. scrambled well at times and putted well at times. i wanna play that course again(altho i dunno if dr. busch wants to have me again, it probably cost him a load of moola). it's alotta fun. not very long at 6400 yards, but the rough(frickin fescue grass), raised, tiered and undulated greens, and narrow fairways made the course quite fun. the course was in great condition. the greens ran true and were challenging to read. i don't think i've played a course where the greens had so many subtle breaks before. played w/ dr busch and a few of his friends. all great people. very nice and fun to be around. great course, great weather(slightly overcast and cool), pretty good play and good playing companions made for a great day(even if it did start before the sun came up). lotsa highlights(which i won't bore you w/) and a coupla holes i'd like to have back(frickin fescue grass). proved to myself that i can raise my game and hit a good shot when the situation calls for it(the opposite also occurred). don't think i've played like this in a while. fun fun fun fun fun fun!!!!! liked the way all my equipment was too=). new shoes were comfy. new driver(used off ebay of course) was solid. new 3 wood(again used off ebay) was nice. new sandwedge(off ebay) was awesome. putter(off ebay) felt great(now if i can only hit short putts better). irons, i'd like new ones, but these will do for now(can't wait to get some irons custom made for me when i have the money=).
afterwards, came back and made it to lecture. did some labwork and came back. gotta retake the ortho comp tomorrow and then do some more labwork(i'm gonna be pooped). i'm tired right now. i think the adrenaline rush has gone down a bit. ok time to study a bit and then bed.
