As I Xi It

Ahh golf, the thinking (wo)man’s sport. After a 13 year hiatus from playing the game, this afternoon I decided to stroll down to my local driving range and thrash a couple of balls.

It was an interesting experience, first off, I got my bag caught in the doors when I was entering the reception, next, I forgot to put the basket underneath the ball dispenser so the balls just went everywhere!! Almost a comedy of errors.

I must not have grown much over the years since my junior clubs still fit me! I’m fairly consistent with hitting them. Perhaps too consistent, no matter which iron I used, the ball pretty much ended up at roughly the same distance but had a different trajectory. Hmn…

Over the past week or two, I added a new driver and 5# hybrid club. The hybrid was nice enough to hit but the ball had a tendency to curve to the right, when I tried to compensate by altering my grip, it went wildly to the right. Same with the driver.

Even after 13 years, it was still quite fun. Guess I’ll be coming out of “retirement” then.
