This is me golfing....HAHA. obviously kidding. Today I had my last group golf lesson for the summer, and instead of an actual lesson at the range, the plan was to play the first three holes of the Founders course. Jordan had gotten a new driver and it was still at the pro shop, so I grabbed that and headed off to the first tea box. My drive was BEAUTIFUL, and I attributed it much to the lessons and alot to the pimp club i was using. (Normally I use my mother in laws clubs that are great, but just a bit outdated, hence stealing jordan's). After this great shot I had a "golf high." Which of course meant my next 9 shots sucked (and yes, that was just the first hole). You see, golf is a rollercoaster of a game. One minute you are on top of the world b/c your game is amazing, and the next minute you want to quit. Unfortunately, the competitive bitch that I am wont let this get the better of me....I almost parred the second hole. In actuality, I double boogied it, but it was almost a par.
The problem with golf is that it is much too like my work. The constant ups and downs are similar and frustrating. Most people use golf as a stress reliever, but not me. Normally I'm out there stressed out and cursing like a sailor. So why do I play you ask? Well, not only is this a male dominated sport of business that I feel is essential that I learn, but it is also enormously challenging. So in my screwed up competitive mind, I enjoy it.
Needless to say, after two holes, we went in for drinks....I love golf.
Jer- maybe you should have started with a drink then played a few holes. It might have calmed you down a little and it seems to work for most of the guys I know that play golf!
ReplyDeletei don't even know what a boogie and a par are, so many props to you for doing them AND using them in a sentence.
