I played my first 9 holes of the year today, with a) no practice (straight from car to tee) and b) a lag of 6 months between swinging clubs. Not bad, shot a 46 from the blues with 4 pars (Yes, that means there were some interesting holes in between).
I don’t know what it is about golf, but where else will you see people walking in the freezing cold, with a slight drizzle and brisk wind while chasing a little ball around the course?
That being said, there is nothing like a walk with my wife across the course. I am one lucky guy. Truly, golf is one of the greatest couple sports.
