The Golf Pro

So I have decieded to take up a new hobby and by the title you can tell it is golf.
Today I purchased a complete set of Walter Hagen golf clubs. It just so happens that Walter Hagen is a Rochester native.

Me with my new clubs.

Al, the guy that helped me pick out the clubs, said "Now you know you can't play in flip flops."

I talked Camberly into going to the driving range with me. Here are some photos she took of me trying out my new clubs.

My great back swing.

My great follow through.

It's a good thing you can't see the ball in the pictures because it didn't always do what it was supposed to.

Letchworth State Park

Saturday we took a drive to Letchworth State Park, also know as "the Grand Canyon of the east." It is about an hour south of Rochester. Right when we drove in there was a pull over/overlook spot with a great view of the canyon. It was very vast (although not nearly as large as the actual Grand Canyon). The biggest difference was all the greenery. Here there are trees growing all up the walls and this gives it a very different look.

At one end of the park there are three waterfalls. We walked to each of them and had fun taking lots of pictures--trying out our camera and the "lessons" from the family reunion.

On our way home we stopped at a little pizzeria in one of the towns near the park. Next time though we will plan ahead better and pack a picnic lunch because the park has tons of different sites with picnic tables. It was a fun day, made all the better by the beautiful 70 degree weather.
