Have you ever had one of those days

[chrt396]

It started out this morning...getting ready for golf. HHmmm...it was 10:15 am, temperature around 61 degrees. What to wear!!! long Pants..shorts..long pants...shorts....long sleeve...short sleeve...! Decision Shorts and short sleeve polo!! My brother-in-law lives about 2 hours away..so we meet half way between the two cities. During the week, he makes a tee time at a course..I thought...up in Spring Hill, about 1 1/2 hours away from my home. Ok....I'm taking the long cruise up to the course...I'm tired...the heat in the truck is making me woozy...kinda of like I'm in dream land. I finally get to the course and I call my Brother in Law and say..."Hey...where are you?" After about 30 seconds of him explaining where his truck is, it has finally been determined that I am at the wrong course. I have driven 1 1/2 hours to a course when it should have been the one that was only 45 minutes from my home. After a few hundred swear words and a mini temper tantrum by yours truly, he said..."we'll wait for ya!" I thought..."well that's nice of him!" 40 minutes later in traffic...I arrive at the correct course....stressed! Straight to the tee box I go!!

First shot...."BOOM!!!" Right down the center!! Well..this may not be a bad day after all! That was the LAST good thing to say about my game!! I did not hit ONE GREEN IN REGULATION!!! NOT ONE!! A few good drives....a couple decent putts...a couple decent chips....and come in from a disastrous round..two mulligans...and a 95! OUCH!!!!!!!! I fell apart today!! Absolutely disintegrated. I think I made the lady blush that was in a foursome behind us with a few emotional outbursts after a chunked shot or two.

LESSON FOR THE DAY!!!

Listen VERY carefully as to where you will be playing that weekend. I heard "Silver ____! It was Silver something else! Why do courses have to name everything with a "Silver" There must be a hundred of them in Florida.

When you are aggravated...don't play! Take a break and go to the driving range.

When you hit a crappy shot...get over it! There is always plenty of golf to play for the day! I held on to my failures from the 2nd hole on! I just could NOT shake it!! I tried...believe me....but then another crappy shot would fire it all back up again!

When your golf play starts to become "funny" to you...you are on the way to a nervous breakdown!

The good thing...no clubs thrown over 30 yards....no one was injured in the game....and the lady behind us learned a couple new words from my personal collection! You can never stop learning...that's my motto! I embarrassed myself a couple times..therefore learning the lessons of the day.

Thanks for letting me vent! I did not deserve to play the game of golf this day in February, 2010. I was pitiful!
