Played 9 last Saturday and only 7 last Sunday. Back was giving me fits. Monday, did something to my right knee. (It's the "good one". The left was replaced with a titanium one in '09.) By Monday night the knee had a lump on the ligaments/muscles just above it the size of a small grapefruit. Couldn't hardly even put weight on it. That seemed to heal to where I mowed yesterday and went for a couple mile walk today. Could have played yesterday. Just didn't have the "want to". Mowed, cleaned out the garage, napped, watched a movie. Tourney at the course today. In the past, we'd have played another course. Again... couldn't get motivated. Went for a walk. Went grocery shopping. Met with our financial planner. A "ho hum" day.
Scheduled to play early tomorrow. Rain predicted. If there's a clap of thunder or I count more than 7 raindrops... I'll take tomorrow off also. Just don't have that mindset that I used to. I'm hoping I just suffered a little burnout. My last few rounds were the best of the season. Was playing lights out, for an old man.
Folks say, "Retire so you can play golf every day!" Right now, being relegated to being obligated to play golf every day isn't that inviting. Am I that close to being ready to check in to the local nursing home and hang it up????
Hopefully, by mid-week I'll be stoked to play next weekend. Hopefully, the fire will rekindle. Hopefully.......
