16th Green from 17th on Killington Resort Golf Course.

16th Green from 17th on Killington Resort Golf Course.

Being Tuesday, I usually go to the Green Mountain National Golf Course to play golf with a bunch of great local guys. We play a little "quota" tournament every Tuesday. Kick in 20 bucks for simple prizes and lunch. It is probably my one serious round of golf during the week.

Today, however, I had a meeting with someone I needed to speak with, so instead of golf this morning, I went to the practice range this afternoon to get my Tuesday swings in. Green Mountain has a really nice practice area complete with a driving range and a large, sand trapped practice green. I brought my video camera with me to take some swing shots. I have been going to physical therapy now for about 6 weeks to strengthen the ankle I sprained last winter, so I wanted to see what was going on with my swing. I have probably developed a couple of bad habits in my swing on the bum ankle. But as luck would have it, the camera battery was dead... hence no inane video's of my golf swing in all it's glory. I hit a full bucket of balls, chipped for about 30 minutes, and practiced putting. I probably hit more shots at the practice area than I would have hit playing golf this morning... but as they say. Practice makes perfect!

Todays blog picture is of the 16th green at the Killington Resort course, taken from the 17th tee. The 16th hole at Killington is a tough 371 yard par 4. You start from a slightly elevated tee, driving over a small valley straight out towards the green. The second shot is usually a short iron to an elevated green. it is hard to get the ball close on the 16th, as the second shot is all up hill carry. The 16th is one of the many nice holes on the Killington Resort Course in Killington.
