My Golfing Passion...

A little common sense goes a long way...

26/8/12 Sunday. More mobility and less pain this morning was able to get up at 5am and move well enough through the various newspaper delivery tasks. It has been a while since having a really bad flare up on this scale. It is now when my positive attitude can cause problems. It has always been a matter of "what can I do" when feeling like this instead of thinking "what is not possible."


This has caused problems in the past as pain is a great creator of irrational decisions. This morning I am holding off until 10am before heading out to hit 20 balls and see how my body reacts. Even on writing it common sense suggests not even bothering to do this and sit the day out and recover a little more. It is that I have worked so damn hard to be in a position to win the Gallerie Trophy and sitting in second spot and only needing to be two strokes better than the leader for victory. I don't need to win this trophy, I just don't like not being able to compete and have an influence on the result.


Yes dear readers I am an obsessed golfer who does enjoy the competition of the game. Thankyou for your time and attention, “Hit ‘em straight all”

    Hi Talart, mate it sounds like you've been to hell and back! Not good mate. I hope the pain level subsides. Patience of course is difficult to bring into one's head, when golf is the subject. I'm like you, can't stand sitting around waiting for the occassional painful backache to subside. Man it gives me the shits!

    Take care and rest up. The more important games are coming up by the sounds of things.

    By the way, I scored 32 points in stableford yesterday. Reasonably happy, but missed a couple of easy putts. Very silly indeed.

    32 points is a good result. I always found anything over 30 would have me feeling satisfied with the game and looking forward to the next round. I have had worse and it has been a couple of years since getting flattened like this with a flare up. In better condition that last season though and the last two days have been been improved a lot. Bowen treatment today and that will hurry the healing along. Be out hitting golf balls tomorrow (Wednesday) getting the short game in tune.
