| - They say you have to "dig your Golf game out of the dirt"...you have to "Play golf from the bottom of your feet up"...the most important distance in golf "is the 6 inches between your ears"...you should never "putt from the rough"...never mind that last...not great advice:)
It has been a rough week and I decided that I needed to swing a golf club again...just to put a little good feeling in my head...a round of golf, well played, always put me in that "I'm the king of the world" kind of mode:)
One minor problem...I looked at my calendar and I hadn't actually swung a club in almost 6 months...that's a recipe for an unpleasant round of golf...what to do?...what.to.do? :-)
Well, I guess a little practice wouldn't hurt...I mean if it's good enough for Tiger, it's good enough for me:)
And speaking of Tiger...it looks like we are both on the comeback trail right now...although my trail seems somewhat less problematic...I mean when I tee off, no one is going to be ironically shouting "It's in the hole"...BTW, I think we've just seen the tip of the iceberg with Tiger's story (although I understand that he seldom used just the tip of the old "Tiger-berg":)
But, sadly, we'll never really know...
What I do really know is that I'm glad I have this little (and I do mean little...the practice facility at Whisper Rock is the size of 3 full golf holes at CGC) facility to start to tune up my game:)
I don't really play golf at CGC (although I would ...it's "cute" and little...it would be good short game practice).
But for me, it's the closest practice range (to my place), it's inexpensive (I bought a $100 range card and that gives me something like 17,000 golf balls to hit:), people are friendly there, they don't mind me bringing my shag bag over and using my own golf balls for some of my practice...in short, it's homely, but it's homey:)
They even have a little practice bunker...a sort of flat (but OK) short game practice area...and real grass on the range itself...an important feature, from my perspective:)
I don't know about you, but I don't like hitting off mats...you can't learn anything about your game hitting off mats...there's no "feedback" to tell you some of the things that you really need to know about your game:)
I mean try to hit a "fat" shot off a mat...go ahead, I'll wait...that's what I thought...can't be done...not even a shot that's just "chubby"...the club just bounces off the mat and into the back of the ball.
Anyway, I went over and hit about 100 balls today and rolled about 100 putts and you know what...after the first half dozen whizzer's, the ball started coming off the club the way the laws of physics insist it should...high, soft draws that hang up there forever...towering cuts that stop on a dime...the ball going where I thought it should:)
Am I ready to take my game back to the course?...no flippin' way:)
I need a lot more practice before I tee it up again...at least if I'm going to tee it up for money:-)
