Since this blog is about what goes no in my life, I'm going to tell you about my round of golf yesterday. Most of you who check this probably aren't that interested in my golf game. You can stop reading if that is you, but I'm going to write it anyway.
I played golf yesterday with one of the members of my church. This is the first time I've been out this year, and the only other time I've played since early last fall was at Christmas. The front nine was every bit as bad as you would expect. Over nine wholes, I think I had seven penalty strokes. The only time I hit a fairway from the tee box was with a seven iron (sharp dog-leg). I had a 60 at the turn. Now, I'll never be a good golfer, but this is a really embarassing score even by my standards.
The second half of the round, was a completely different story. I only had one penalty stroke on the back nine, and still bogeyd that hole. I shot a 43 on the back. Chip shots rolled close. Drives were at least close to the fairway. I have no idea what happened. While my total score is still really bad, I take comfort in a few things. First of all, I improved. Secondly, its an honest score. I didn't adjust lies, take mulligans, or take gimmies longer than 12 inches. Thirdly, I actually putted well (which never happens to me).

We all have a bad day once in a while. Look forward to seeing you tonight. Mom
I was actually happy with half of a round of golf. I normally am not pleased with any part of a round of golf. The entire experience is generally demoralizing, embarassing, and makes me wonder why I play the stupid game. None of that was present after Monday's round. I didn't see it as a bad day at all. Apparently I was viewing it all wrong. It may really have been a bad day. Perhaps I should be embarassed, demoralized, and generally disgusted with the game..Gee, thanks Mom.
