I’m getting tired of being tired. I’m pooping out earlier and earlier. I suspect it’s the pain meds I take for my back, too. Once the knee and back are fixed, I should be almost as good as new.
I started off great. Was playing quite well, compared to how I’d been playing. But, then the wearies set in and I just wasn’t hitting the ball correctly.
I lost 3 balls in plain sight. The first, on 3 I shot and never saw again. I thought it went left but I never did find it. I hit a provisional and ended up having to play that. It happened again on holes 10 and 16. On 16 it was a dynamite hit and went sailing past the BFTs (big f***ing trees) but I never found it. I did find a nice, new Noodle someone lost, but couldn’t find mine. I also hit one into the environmental area on 17. My second shot made it but that ball was a found ball so no harm, no foul.
So I played crappy overall, but it was a beautiful day and I was with my friends, so that’s OK. At this time of the year when my body is so tired from playing, I don’t get too wound up about not playing well. I know come Spring, I’ll be fine…and will have had plenty of rest recuperating from my knee surgery.
Golf’s a hard game to figure. One day you’ll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink.
