Halleluiah!!! There is hope for me! This is the best news of the weekend I think (and yes, I watched almost the entire Masters).
Can you imagine…shooting your first hole in one at 102!!! And it was a woman too. Woohoo, you go girl!
I often wonder if I’m getting too old for this game. I started in my mid forties and it is such a hard game. First, you really do need to be in decent shape to walk that 18 holes (or 5 miles) dragging a big heavy bag around. I played 45 holes this weekend and I’m feeling it big time. My “army golf” style probably means I walked 20 miles this weekend – not just 12 
And Friday I had such a bad round, that I was frustrated and wanted to quit big time. But my partner was patient and just said…”You just need the swing doctor”. So I did….and my “swing doctor” cured me. My shanking irons were all but gone in 1/2 hr and I really enjoyed my game later that day (my partner enjoyed it even more ).
Golf is a lifetime sport, a lifetime teacher, a lifetime social experience and a lifetime of thinking “I can’t wait until tomorrow to play again!”.
I love this game and I love the people I meet playing it (for the most part). I hope I’m still swinging when I’m Elsie’s age – if not here, then definitely in the big tee box in the sky!
Oh yeah…the Masters – nothing against Zach, but I sure was pulling for that cute Aussie (hopefully next time Stuart!) or the strong silent Goosie…and my heart broke when Ernie missed the cut…
An oldie, but a goodie
