Oops!

In May my brother and sister-in-law introduced me to golf. I enjoyed it and I'm now trying to make the effort to play whenever possible, although I've only manage four rounds so far.

This morning it was so tempting to stay in bed but I forced myself to go out on the golf course for the fifth time (only the second time on my own). A couple of weeks ago when I last played I had a really good round and beat my best score by 9. Today was not good, to be honest my mind was on other things, and I exceeded my worst score by 8 (20 more than last time)!!! This hole didn't help. I try to keep well to the right but the ball curved a lot today, landed at the top of the hill and rolled back down into the bunker! Not fair! I made three attempts of chipping it out up and over then admitted defeat and hit it backwards out the flat side. Sometimes life is like that, we have to take a step back and tackle things from another direction.

The course was very wet and I came back covered in mud but with enough energy to cut the grass before I got changed. Now I need to get on with other things.
