Al Shank Sez.......No Hole In One...but a Fun Day!

So did I play Saturday? Not  a chance! I adhere to the Mark Twain quote, "golf is a good walk spoiled." I would love to be good at the sport. I grew up on a golf course, and still live on the golf course in the house I grew up in. I played when I was younger, but now haven't played in years. I think it has to be one of the best mental toughness sports. I admire people that can hit a good shot after a good shot. For me, I admire even more, those that hit a bad shot and can regroup by the very next shot, put the bad shot out of mind and hit a good shot. I'm just not one of them. I hit bad shots throughout the match until close to the end. The last hole or two are usually when my best shots come. I have learned that these best shots are just the "siren of golf" saying......hey, you can do this....it is really easy....come back and play again....you can do it.....and I go back.....and it isn't really easy......I can't do it. So I have learned to avoid the "siren of golf" and it's sweet, beckoning voice and call. I admire those that can do it and make it look easy. I like seeing a good golf shot....I'll probably just see it from  my patio.....beverage in hand.....chilling out.
