Golfing again
I hadn’t picked up my golf clubs in months. Went out to Tower Tee with my 8 year old back in maybe April and haven’t touched them since. I had said something to my wife about it back in July. Told her I was bummed that I had been so busy with work and teaching I hadn’t had time to get out to play. Well, she went and bought me a gift card to my favorite course for our anniversary last month and told me that now I HAD to go. What a great woman!
So, this last week I took my son out to the driving range at Tower Tee to try and dust off the cobwebs and that went pretty well (at least other than the head of his 3 wood flying off the shaft and about 60 yards out into the range). Called up the course at Forest Park (the Norman K. Probstein Memorial course, not Triple A which almost no one knows about it seems) and the only tee times left for Sunday morning for as single player were with groups at 6:10 and 6:18! On one hand I hate mornings and on the other I know it goes faster to play early, plus you get home and the whole day isn’t wasted.
Anyway, had fun and got done and back home by about 11. All in all, I played well and shot an 88. Not my best, but not bad for not playing for months. I would love the chance to play on a regular basis again. I really think I could start playing well again.
