Hello, friends!
Monday is my day off and since I don't have a softball league this year, I decided to play golf as a way to do something athletic and spend a few hours walking with Jesus.
Let's be clear: I am a terrible golfer. Well, I won't say that I'm the worst golfer in the world, just that I am terribly inconsistent and don't score very well. I am at my worst 30 yards from the green and closer. I cannot hit those shots to save my life.
Golf has taught me many lessons about life. One of which has been to not do too much. I used to carry a full compliment of clubs with me on my rounds but I found that I actually only know how to hit 3 or 4 of them well at all, so now those are the clubs I carry. It ain't pretty golf but it sure is fun. =0).
Yesterday, I golfed the greatest round of golf in my life. I started on the back 9, holes 10-18 and shot a decent score (for me anyway) but it was on the front 9 that I really put some good holes together. I was hitting the fairway. I was judging distances well. I was hitting putts! I even learned a new shot, where I choke up on my 5-wood to hit the ball about 130 and straight. I finished the round and was torn as to whether I should try again next week to do even better, or end the season on a high note. I'm still trying to decide.
What does this have to do with biking? Absolutely nothing. I just figured that I hadn't posted all month and I needed to brag about my round. =0).
