Golf, Part 0001

So, I finally got my butt to the golf course after nearly a two year absence. I played pretty much exactly how I thought I would. I have a very good naturally swing, so my ball striking (insert joke here), was fairly good as long as I didn't overswing. I had a little trouble figuring out the correct club to use, any shot that required finesse was very rusty, and I didn't putt well at all.

I overdid it and played two balls for 18 holes, which didn't help my score at all, I should have just played one ball, so fatigue and concentration were factors. So it sounds bad, but really I played very well. I shot 37/45=82 on the first ball and 45/42=87 on the second. I had one birdie and 13 pars, and hit 16/36 greens in regulation. I was +3 on putts with no one putts.

I golfed at Eagle Hills in Papillion. It is owned by the city of Papillion, and they have a funny deal where they get retirees to volunteer to work out there for free golf. So the course is fairly well teeming, crawling, littered with old guys, many ex military who are always seeming to watch you. It's kind of creepy.

Come back to me...

I have added a new line to my prayers which is right in line with recovery, it says "Lord help me, because I have a problem with _____". It's not really hard for me to fill in the blank there. While I was praying this yesterday morning, I was basically asking/begging for help with something, I don't remember what (LOL), and I heard His voice in my head "come back to me".

"Come back to me"

I like to say "if you used to be close to God, and you don't feel that way anymore, guess who moved?"

I have.

Sheesh, you gotta teach a puppy EVERYTHING

thanks to yougetalife for this one, good picture/caption combo too

I don't gotta do nothin'...

This was/is the week I've been most looking forward too. Yes this is my fifth seven days off since I started my new schedule, but I knew the other four would not quite be as fulfilling. The first was just getting used to it, the second surgery, the third surgery recovery, and the fourth visiting mom in Chicago. This one has nothing going on at all. I have an errand to run tomorrow. I am going to Spanky & Mae's tomorrow night. The Friday dance and Lindy in the Park. That is all.

So if you want to find me. I am goofing off. Thanks.
