Getting the "drive" back...

[TN94z]

Well, I have been working a lot lately and it has been COLD outside, so I haven't worked on any part of my game (really worked on it) in a few months.  And to be honest, I haven't had the desire to.  I have had two of my playing partners tell me that they are going to quit playing for a while. My other playing partner is in school and won't get much playing time until that is done (nursing school).  So it has been a very depressing winter as far as golf goes.

I had almost lost my drive to even play much this spring and then I get a phone call....I had applied at Dick's a couple of months ago for a 2nd job.  Well, they finally called back and I got the job in the golf department.  So, I have a pretty good feeling that this will put that spark back into me to get started on my game. Maybe I can even get some swing work in while it's slow. I know the Pro that works in the store, so I will for sure hit him up for some tips, etc...

I don't want to lose my drive because my son's loving the game so far and I don't want anything I do to affect his love of the game because he has some really good natural talent.  I am sure that this is just the winter time blues and I will get over it, but it just seems much worse this year.  It's almost like everyone that I used to play with has quit.  I need to keep it up though....that way when they come back, I'll be that much ahead of them.

Anyway, just needed to vent a little.  Anything to get me back in the groove of things!!

Keep after it man. I got pretty depressed when my job relocated me from Tampa to Jacksonville and I thought it was pointless to play golf by myself or with strangers. I joined a local country club with a guy at the office and now I have a group of 20+ guys who are just as crazy about golf as I am.
