Played 18 holes today riding. The wind was blowing 20mph most of the day so it was definitely a challenge. I worked for years to learn to hit a high ball to get it to check up or even backspin a bit. Works great except on windy days, problem is I can't seem to hit low knockdown shots with any accuracy anymore.
I'm playing as much as a possible because Monday I start another round of chemo, a different one, and probably another round of radiation. Seems the cancer has moved to my brain as well, well, what brain I had in the first place. Apparently this is common place, but rather upsetting regardless. Anyway, this thread wasn't supposed to be a woe is me thread, I just wanted to let y'all know I may not be posting as much as normal, not sure how this new chemo and radiation is going to leave me feeling.
On the bright side, I shot a 90 today under the less than perfect conditions. The front nine I shot a 47 due to the high winds, on the back 9 I started playing smarter/safer golf. Laying up, aiming for the center of the greens instead of at the pin and shot a 43. I've also managed to for the most part eliminated the right side of the course as a source of trouble. I've actually begun hitting my driver either straight, or with a baby draw,
Now if I can just eliminate these 3 putts and a few of the 2 putts I could possibly shoot some good scores. I'm still thinking about building a belly putter, lord knows it can't hurt, and might even help?
