Joie de vivre

For the 3rd time in 12 years, I took off work early today to play golf. This was my first round in months, and…

Wait. Let me Tarentino this for you…

In January our entire family decided to take golf lessons at golfTec. To this point, it has been a great experience! Bobbie Jo, Courtney, and I have all been diligent at attending lessons and practicing (except for me during the swine flu season – I mean travel season). When we review the videos from our lessons, it is easy to see the improvement that has been made. While we have been out to the driving range a few times, we have been cautious about actually playing a round of golf for fear that it might be frustrating and detrimental to the learning process.

So today…

Gary Rector and I teed off at 3:00 PM and had a blast. While I still have massive room for improvement, most of the shots I hit went in the basic direction that was intended and traveled the distance that I expected (So I don’t sound boastful, you should know that I drive an astonishing 185 yards). I had 1 par, several bogies, and found myself with a long par opportunity on about 15 holes.

Now for the exciting part – I only lost four golf balls. While that may sound like a lot to you, the last time I played I lost about two dozen. According to my math, this means that if my “hot” streak continues, I will be saving $30-$50 per round, which means I might be able to play golf more than once every ten years.

How cool is it to spend 4 hours, $30, and actually have a good time!?!

SYTA Youth Foundation Golf Tournament – watch out – here I come!
