At Last, Back on the Range
After more than a month of rehabbing my back, I was finally able to get back out and hit some golf balls today. And what a gorgeous day! Mid 60’s, breeze from the northeast, sunny skies!
I had an opportunity to play 18 today, but I turned down the round as I suspected that I wouldn’t have been able to break 120 today. I would have been right.
I went to Hank Haney Golf Ranch this morning to hit a few balls. I bought a small bucket and went to the range. I warmed up in the usual manner. First, 5 balls with the sand wedge, followed by 3 balls with every other club, until the driver, where I hit 5 balls with it. My ball-striking was pretty pathetic today, but I was just happy to be able to hit balls, so there was absolutely no frustration at all. I’d say I hit maybe 5 good shots out of the bucket, all of these with the driver or 4-wood. None of the clubs really worked other than those two, but I’m happy to have hit some balls. Tomorrow, I have the same plan, and to add in putting and short game work. (The putting green was closed at HHGR).
No issues at all with my back, I’m happy to say.
Life is good, even if the golf gods hate me.
