Golf

Oh how I suck at golf these days. It will not take me long to get back into it, but needless to say I'd have shot about a 90 today if I played the full 18 holes. I had a lovely shank, I popped up a drive, and most of the rest of my shots were nicely ten yards to the side. I have no idea of my current distances and it rained like a banshee. The lightning brought us in.
I had a hand in three championships in my three high school years, was ranked in the state (and the county, of course), and then pretty much just stopped playing. I played last about a year and a half ago, and it shows. My pre-shot routine is dreadfully long - God knows what I'm doing for that 20 seconds, but it's not preparing to hit a shot. Woe is me, woe is me!
On the bright side, the course nearby me has some pretty nice special pricing, and so I think I'm going to be hitting the links quite a bit in the next few days and weeks. I'll get better again. I don't know that I'll ever get back to my 3-5 range, but I'll get better. Golf is too great a game to treat the way I did today.
