Golf... end of season <sniff>
As the golf season winds down, I feel a little lost! I joined a golf club this year, and played seriously for the first time in my life. I only golfed 3-4 rounds a year previously, and none for the last 7, until this year. I need 2 more decent rounds this year to get my index under 20, and I'm impressed with the progress i've made in such a short time. Lessons are worth every penny!
This past Tuesday, I shot my low 9-hole round, a 42, but I still left the course frustrated with what could have been! I chipped in from the fringe on the opening hole for birdie, and then bogeyed a long par 5, when I got in trouble with my second shot. No shot at the green from a lie amongst the trees, but I played smart and even had a long put for par. The third hole was a long par 4, 430 yards, and I par'd it for the first time eva!!! I push a 5 iron to the left on a par 3 and make bogey, and then sink a 20 footer for par on number 5, a medium par 4 dogleg!
I was 1-over thru 5 holes!!! And then the wheels came off!! Bogey, double-bogey, par, double bogey!! Blahhh!! I hate life!!
Thanks for listening!

Wedding tomorrow . . . yaayyy.
you can say:
The opportunity for golf seems bleak, presently. then go to garage, clean clubs, check spikes in shoes, sort through the 50 lbs. of balls you keep meaning to take out of your bag, segregate into: might use these ones and neighbours kid could use these.
Go to Tee's indoor golf on Laird Drive with 2 or 3 buddies
Nachos while you play, Beer and wings after, no sun screen required, chance of rain zero, and you get to play Pebble Beach..
Do this on a hockey game night and it's a pretty good evening
Then plan a January south Golf trip, follow up with February refresh lesson, March, scope out new equipment and plan early april south trip...
Return and say "The opportunity of golf today, looks pretty good!"
GA meeting held Tuesday's and Thursday's in my Garage

You guys are such jerks. This thread tilts me to no end. haha
I used to play twice a day everyday when I was a bit younger and didnt have to work for a living. Since then I have reduced that to probably an average of 10 rounds per year.
Except the past two years. Haven't golfed once. All the result of a tiny benign tumour on my spine. It has since been removed (along with the bone that was completely fractured) and I can now begin my long road to recovery. I didn't need any reinforcing in my back and according to the doctor all should be back to normal shortly, but I am pretty nervous to unleash my swing too early. Esp since I swing at the ball like im gunna knock the white off it everytime.
I am going to slowly start working on swinging in the off season and hoping to get back out there next year.
Crossing my fingers that all goes well and my pro golfing career isnt ruined :bs: lol
still gonna be out there with buzzard and hellmuth's mole until they close the course
Played with waltsfriend last Sunday and she had a 6 hole stretch of par, par, par, par, par, birdie. Then she fell apart.
Wife stopped at the Nike outlet yesterday and picked me up some turtlenecks to wear for the cooler weather. Can't wait to get out on the weekend.

Adjust your swing to fit the situation. I used to R&G, but now with no socket in right shoulder, replacement hip, artritis in most joints, I use my 60+ years experience to make it around with all parts intact, occasionally on receiving end of bets. Win or lose, beer still cold!!!
