havent touched the bar in 6 days but ive been golfing 4 out of the past 5 days. it has really changed my attitude which had become quite bad due to some stuff in my personal life. if i may make an analogy:
issues with friends and family are like fairway bunkers. sure sometimes you get stuck in there for what seems like an eternity, but eventually you'll get out and then there is a lot more golf to play. life goes on.
my wrist was pretty sore yesterday morning but it loosened up a lot by early afternoon, so i figured its like old jack burton always says, "oh what the hell?"
played 9 in the midday sun. hit some good shots as well as some horrendous shots, started the 3rd hole +6 after a double bogey and a quadruple bogey, but played decent after that to shoot 46 on the par 34 course.
then last night as i was relaxing in the recliner, i decided to crack open my 15 year old copy of "golf is not a game of perfect," which was quite dusty. inside the front cover i found some really old pictures that got me all misty and nostalgic. say hello to benji and lady:
benji was my dog. lady was my ex girfriend's dog. benji was an ******* lol rip old friend. lady was a sweetheart that was relocated to a farm when my girlfriends father passed away from cancer. i know it sounds cliche "went to a farm" but yeah that really happened and im sure she had a nice life after we went our separate ways. <3
so yeah, feeling pretty good this morning and will try to play 18 today if i can get out.
