Golfing Break

2 comments • Trackback

It’s now been over two years since I took up golf seriously and aspired to be a better player. In this time I’ve experienced a roller coaster ride, something I’m sure all players will have gone through. Despite all the contrasting emotions I’ve stuck with it; times when I could no longer hit a ball if my life depended on it and performing consistently poorly in my local golf societies.

Around about 4 weeks ago I hit a new low and decided it was time for action -it was time to deconstruct my game and have lessons. I’ve now had four or five sessions, in between hitting balls down the range until my forearms have felt like they were going to burst. All this additional work has paid off and I’ve had a small epiphany and eureka moment on the course which has left me with a very positive attitude, now feeling the only way is up.

A rather welcome challenge now is that all my yardages are screwed and I’m having to adjust to get used to my new found swing and distance. I’ve effectivley gone down two clubs compared to my old swing. I’m feeling energised, enthusiastic and I’ve rediscovered my passion.

Last week though I received the tragic news that one of my regular golfing partners had died suddenly. It’s times like this that put petty golfing frustrations into context and makes you appreciate what you have, both on and off the course.

The last few weeks have been a bit tough and I plan to go to Spain with the family for a bit of sun and a break from golfing. Happy golfing and speak to you on my return.
