My golf game.

So far its business as usual with the golf game. I always start out very slow. I know my game pretty well and know that I am a feel player. You hear people wear this term out- feel player. I'm a feel player. Many people play the game by feel, but not as many as claim to.

What that means for me is that in March and April the club can feel like a telephone poll. The chips shots feel awkward and forced. The putts are erradic. Sometimes I get lazy hands, which in the heart of the season are usually overactive hands. I chunk some shots each round because I don't move my hands through the ball. Golf is such a complex game. If your not playing it twice per week you really shouldn't expect much. Momentum may be more key in golf than any other sport I've played. You get a couple good rounds under your belt and then you start to gain confidence. You hit the same shots over and over and then your body trains itself to see the shot and recreate the shot.

I'm sitting at 1.6 on the handicap index. Adjust that for the fact that I play most of my rounds at Midland Trail and I'm probably around a 3-4. Hope your game gets back in shape for the rest of spring and summer. As Smitty says golf is really pretty simple. There are only two things: distance and direction. If your thinking too much then your in trouble.
