i may have caught the bug


clubs. check.

instructor. check.

outfit. check.

buddies. check.

now if i could only work on my swing then i'm all set to play!

yup. golf is my latest venture. i'm still learning though. everything golf is all greek to me - still figuring out the rules of the game, the proper set up, the lingo, etc. two lessons so far. and i can only hit the ball 50% of the time.

golf is not as easy as it looks. a lot of thought is put into a simple swing - from the angle of your arms in relation to the club, the distance of your knees, how you flex your wrists, the way you interlock your fingers together, and of course, hitting the ball. those things mentioned and a bucket of golf balls in the driving range later, you are guaranteed to have sore hands, arms, back and waist.

as much as i suck at it, i like it! perhaps seeing greenery calms you down. it's just you, your club and the ball. or perhaps its the thought that you are doing a physical activity makes you look forward to the next tee time. i really don't know. but one thing i know, i am hitting the driving range on wednesday...
