My recovery from brain surgery is just about complete.  The medical team has begun the process of weaning me off the anti-seizure medication. Yes, I have two ½ inch diameter holes on the top of my head but my hair covers them nicely. I am just about as good as I am going to be.  I feel good. 

I wish I could say the same about my golf game.  There have been some weeks where I contemplated permanently putting the clubs in the basement and pulling out the fishing gear.  I have never been a good player but I was competent and at times had my moments of brilliance.  Playing really bad golf was just no fun.

2021 so far has seen me struggle to break 100.  I have picked up my ball mid-hole dozens of times more often in the past couple months than I would over the course of several years.  I think my handicap index has hit the “hard cap” or it would be 15.0+ and climbing.

Still, there have been some recent signs for hope.  I managed a 38 on the front nine of my home course before bringing it to the house with a back nine 53.  In our last tournament I managed 2 birdies and only a 3-putt double bogey on the last hole kept me from breaking 80 (yeah, I choked big time).

It looks like the fish are safe for another season.  I am going to keep practicing and playing and we will see what happens.
