Break 90 in Golf

Yikes. Nope.

Started playing golf again about 6 or 8 weeks ago. Shot a glorious 118. Opted to take a few lessons, learn the proper mechanics of stroke. Then made a concerted effort to get out to the range twice a week, work on my short game as much as possible. (Everyone whips out the driver at the range and cranks, cranks, cranks…but the real score-cutting skill lies in the short irons, chips, and putting.)

And now, after about 2 months, I’ve just shot a 97. Knocking 21 strokes off my round in that time is something that I should savor. (As opposed to focusing on the negative…”Damn, didn’t sink that 60 foot putt!” “Oh, I topped a drive!”, etc…)

Imagine, 2 more months, I’ll cut off 21 more strokes, and I’ll be at 76. Okay. I’m kidding about that.
