This summer has been amazing for golf. I play at least twice a week and sometimes a third time. Monday nights are with my friend E and occasionally a third. Thursday mornings at 6:06 I play with the Intuit golf league. Don't forget that I am an early bird when you gasp at the early tee time. I can get to work by 8:30 by teeing off at 6:06.
Early on in the summer, my two brothers gave me a couple of tips and for the most part they have become a part of my game. They were: 1) Don't bend your left elbow 2) Hold the club like it is a bird - that gently. I KNOW that consistency is the name of the game in golf, so playing this often will help with that.
What is really interesting to me, is that my scores have not gone down much this summer but my satisfaction of my game has. If I could only string together a series of 8 or 9 holes, my score would go down, and someday at this rate that will happen.
The other surprise is that when folks hear I play golf the normal reaction is "You play golf, I did not know that!" OK, if I were male, this would not be a normal comment, and would not even be a thought or a prejudice.
Why is it still perceived as a male game? I know plenty of women who play. In our family, Murg is the golf widower. Just another way that I turn the world upside down I suppose. BTW, I had to add a new label for this post . . . golf.
