ddhr.org - Sore from golf

I played golf on Monday for the first time since 2004. It was great. I started off a little rough, getting the "maximum score" for the first two holes, but I ended up getting a couple of pars and only losing two or three balls all day, none of which were in the water. A golf score in my book takes into account not only the actual number of strokes it took to complete the round, but also the number of balls and tees lost, the number of balls and tees found, and the number of water and sand traps missed. This is why I only play golf once every three years.

The other reason I rarely play golf is because I was sore the next day. As if the act of playing golf didn't make me enough of a non-athlete, I got sore muscles from playing this non-sport. It had something to do with the fact that my body doesn't normally experience that kind of swinging motion on a daily basis. It also had something to do with the fact that I, like any testosterone-filled individual, swung as hard as I possibly could. If you're gonna lose a ball, you might as well make it worthwhile. #sports

A wise old man who I used to play with weekly @ Myakka Pines in Englewood, FL taught me 3 things about golf.

#1 Hit the back of the ball with the front of the club.

#2 You don't have to kill it.

#3 You always want Uncle Tom on your team.

1. Check.
2. When I'm teeing off, yes I do.
3. Why Uncle Tom (I'm assuming you mean our mutual uncle [JSW = my cousin])?

2 I consistantly hit it further and straighter when I practice this. That being said, it's hard to do every time.
3 Correct. Uncle Tom would be Aunt May's husband. (and the "old man" I used to play with weekly was a one Mr. Agnew.)
