I played Shawnee GC today and shot a 43 - 45 + 88. I just can't get back into the swing of the way I was playing 2 months ago. One thing, play was so slow today it was really hard to get in any rhythm, and I really felt stiff over every shot I took.
I putted well today, and I hit a lot of good 3-woods. But, the good 3-wood shots usually came after a bad drive. So, my 3-wood shot just got me up in front of the green, but out about 40-50 yards. I think this was the worst bunch of tee shots I've hit this summer.
I went out today with the plan of walking the entire 18 holes, but I also knew I'd re-assess the situation on the turn. And, when the time came, I thought it best that I ride a cart on the back nine. I was tired, but I could have continued to walk. However, I knew that I'd be really tired by the time I reached about 15 or 16 and would have wished I'd gotten a cart on the turn.
I found myself getting pretty discouraged a few times today, but had to remind myself that it was going to take a while to get back into the game I had 2 months ago. Plus, because of all the medication I've been on, I quit taking the 2 Aleve every day and I can tell. I find a lot of things aching that tend to take away my concentration I need. So, it's a long road back and I have to keep reminding myself to just be happy to be out on the course. If I can just keep that frame of mind, I'll be back before long and I'll enjoy the trip, too.
