My weird round of the year

[cubdog]

This year has been a struggle from the start. Coming off two back surgeries and a 50 weight loss my swing was very messed up at the start of the year. I've put in some work and thing have finally started to improve. My last two rounds were 81 and 82 with 28 and 30 putts. I still have difficulty playing more than three times in a week or back to back days. I just get too sore and stiff.

Anyway yesterday, I tried to play for a third straight day and it was a disaster. Everything was off putting, chipping and irons. However for some reason I was bombing my driver. I usually average around 220, when playing well, with the occasional blast going 250. Ok for a 62 year old with back problems. So yesterday I hit drives of 257,257, 258, and 246. My best drive, I couldn't measure it was on a dogleg and had to have gone 260. I crushed it! I have no explanation for this and It was not because I was swinging easy. If any thing after the first two bombs I was a little amped up and was really trying to launch them.

It was enjoyable, for one day, to hit drives like I did 10 years ago. I doubt if I will be able to repeat my performance. Luckily I was playing with some of my regular partners. Nobody would believe me otherwise.
