The 2011 Season in Review

As my 2012 is finally on the verge of beginning, I feel it is beneficial to take look back at my 2011 season. Last season I played 13 rounds on nine different golf courses, including one scramble--the Temple University School of Medicine Dean's Invitational. This was the second year in a row that I only played 13 rounds.

Cricket Hill Golf Club, Hawley, Pa.

During my 12 rounds (I am not including the scramble), I took 1124 strokes on 216 holes for an 18-hole stroke average of 93.6. I made par or better on 50 on of the holes. I made five birdies during the season: #5 (Par 4) and #16 (Par 3) at Fox Hollow Golf Club, #16 (Par 5) at John F. Byrne Golf Club, #10 (Par 4) at The Fairways Golf & Country Club and #9 (Par 5) at Neshaminy Valley Golf Club.

My low score of the year was an 87 at Neshaminy Valley on Aug. 13; the lowest score I have ever shot on a Par 70 or better course. My high score was a 110 at Buck Hill Falls Golf Club on June 30. Overall, I broke 100 in 10 of the 12 rounds I played, not including the scramble.

 Mad Golfer Driving Range, Southampton, Pa.

I did play three new courses in 2011: Cricket Hill Golf Club in Hawley, Pa; Buck Hill Falls Golf Club in Buck Hill Falls, Pa.; and Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pa. I also went to the practice range six times last year, mostly at Bensalem Township Country Club. I also visited Burholme Driving Range in Northeast Philadelphia and the Mad Golfer Driving Range in Southampton, Pa.
