I went to a not so nearby club and hit balls today. I started off striking the ball really well. On line with a high draw and better than expected distance. I hit a few clunkers but was able to bring it back to the good. As I took a water break, i day dreamed a little about how “good” I might be able to get now. And if I would be happy with that.
There have been 2 times in my golf career that I have gotten down to a single digits for a year or so. The lowest was a 7. Then, I hit balls before a round and a few after. I putted a fair bit and chipped and putted more. I played at least 36 a weekend and at least 18 more during the week.
I don’t have the time to do that now. I wasn’t married then. I’d played golf and drank.
I’ve broken 90 the last 4 times out. My game is improving. Doing little more than playing, and putting some, I think I can reach a point this summer and fall where I can consistently shoot in the 82-86 range.
Short of a lot of practice, I think that is where my ability can take me. I’m comfortable with that level of play. I’m not willing to work harder or spend more time to see if I could be a better golfer. I’d rather spend that time traveling with my wife and our families and spending as much time as possible with my grandson and my nieces, while playing a little bit.
What about you?
