Golfed...

I golfed today - YES! It was a spontaneous moment for all 3 of us. We picked a day, brought our gear and left work at 4pm sharp! Had a blast. Course was hardly busy and weather was an unseasonal 70+ degrees. There was a nice breeze with blue skies and plenty of sun but not in a scorching way. I did go to the range during lunch just so I would not embarrass myself. Surprisingly, my swing was there, tight but there. I felt comfortable and at ease and knew I would enjoy the aftenoon. My golf mentality is never to shoot for a low round but to focus on the smoothness of my swing to a point of being effortless. I achieved that today. It was nice to hear that from the people you are playing with too. :-)

Think I need a new walking bag though. The Ogio bag is ok but don't believe it was designed for a female golfer at least not for me. Have a Mizuno bag for years but it was starting to strain my back. That means it's time to shop again. I am picky even for a golf bag. It must have enough compartments to store whatever yet light enough you can walk 9 holes carrying it without additional strain on your body and strength. Bad thing is I got the Ogio on sale last year. Hubby likes it, so it's his. Time to shop again - most of the pro shops in town are on sale, trying to clear their 2004 inventory. Also looking for a new ball this year, just to try things out. The Precept MC Lady is ok but I'm looking for something dofferent this year. Not sure what it is yet - distance, spin, feel - can't seem to pinpoint it. It all has to augment my current golf mentality. It's the little changes you add to your golf game that can make a big impact.
