I got a bit lucky today that at least 2 (and almost 4) of my tee shots didn’t go out of bounds left, and with a decent short game and putting round I managed to shoot 1 over 72. After the round I went right over to the range and filmed a couple of driver swings just to see what I already knew I would see. I guess the point here is that even though you know what you want to do and try like crazy to do it you may not be physically able to. And where do you go after that? Well, you can modify your technique, you can modify your body (unless you’re an old warrior like me and that becomes far more difficult) or you can just lower your expectations. Golf really beats me up, which is why I work out regularly and eat a certain way. I have lost weight and am in as good shape as I’ve been in many years, but the golf swing is very tough on me as my biomechanics are all screwed up due to my back fusion and the years of wear and tear have introduced arthritis to many of my joints. However, there are times I feel as though I can do better, although at 50 degrees and raining today it may not be my best chance to swing well. So, it’s all about keeping the ball in play and riding the short game and putting. One way or another, you know I’ll be grinding.
