Come on!

Last Thursday I went and dropped another $6 at the range. Good news: they had heated tee boxes. Bad news: I spent too much time on the driver and not enough time on my irons. Today I played another nine holes at North Park Golf Course. Surprisingly I hit the driver well...except for the first drive which I popped up to the right. However, I couldn't hit an iron shot to save my life. I had some good chances after good drives, but didn't manage to hit one green in regulation. ARRRGGGHHH!!! I felt like saying bad words. The worst approach was after I hit my best drive ever. 240 yards, laser-straight, dead center of the fairway. I followed that beauty up with a toed slice that almost decapitated some ladies on the next tee. I did have two approaches with a sand wedge that came up just short, and of course landed in bunkers both times.

On another note, the course was jam-packed at noon on a Wednesday. Doesn't anybody work anymore? I know, I've heard about that whole 'recession' thing going around, but really, if you're unemployed, can you afford to be golfing? I can, I have a sugar-mama, so I can spend my substitute money on golfing. What's everybody else's excuse? Go to work people!

Total spent:
Money = $94
Time = 14.5 hours
Handicap = 43

Practice, practice, practice

I must say, having this blog has already nudged me to get out there and practice. I got home today from a job interview (gotta pay for those range balls and greens fees) at about 4:30. Dinner was at 6, so I thought about just staying in and listen to the wind howl from the security of the couch. Instead I took my lazy butt and went to the range. I worked on a drill to fix my push/hook that involved putting an empty range bucket by my right foot to keep me from swinging from too far inside. It worked somewhat, but I ran out of time and range balls.

Thanks readers (are there any yet?) for the motivation.
