Ok, ok.....I blew off work (one of the joy's of self employment) and went golfing. 
To say that the first nine holes were the worst I ever played would be a gross understatement.
I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if i were indside and all the doors were closed! I sprayed them right, sprayed them left, up down and sideways....I lost 4 balls on a single par 3 (how am I makin' out?) I finished nine with a 56...ok? THERE! I said it!....56!
Epiphany, as defined by websters:
2. A revelatory manifestation of a divine being.
3. a. A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something.
b. A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization:
My friend (paul, who reads here alot but is afraid to post) told me my swing sucks and maybe I should take up bowling. He goes on to tell me that I am WAAY over the top (wtf?) I really had no idea what he was talking about but clearly....something is messed up. He further demonstrates to me what I am doing and what I should be doing. Essentially he had me flatten out my swing.
Naturally, at first, I understood the concept but the implementation was not immediate, about 2 or 3 holes into the back nine I began to "get it"
Irons were getting straight and on target although sometimes the distance was lacking. We played the back pretty loose, 2 or 3 balls at a time to get the feel of this new motion dialed in......I don't have an accurate score because of that but I'm guessing I was in at around 51 or so.
The sun was high, we decided to go for another nine and I was 180 degrees from where I was before. Drives were straight (mostly) and running around 275. Irons and wedges even were feeling great......I have to tell you that my 3 wood off the deck was flawless....I hit it about 4 times and each one was good for 230 yards and straight as an arrow.
I finished with a legit 46 on the final nine (my putting still needs some work) and I hope I can keep this in my memory banks for awhile....thanks Paul!
Ok....I did it, I suck, I know it and I have bared my soul for all to see....there may be hope after all.
