The Swing

The golf swing is starting to get better, actually i'm lucky that I didnt develop any bad habits yet and have not acquired the dreaded hook. It was a good decision to hire a teacher to build my swing. The golf pro is actually pretty good because he worked with the natural swing that I have, not some copycat version of somebody else's perfect swing.

I don't know how pretty it is but I am hitting it straight now. The maximum distance is not yet there but I can see the improvements now. I need to test it out on the course pretty soon. My putting is good and I actually impressed the instructor by holing 5 straight one time, I chip pretty well too holing again one shot after my first try after the pro told me how to do it properly. Not bad.

I hope I'll get another weekend of playing time and hopefully it wont be too hot as the last time we went golfing. This game is beautiful.

Fore!

I'm trying to learn how to play golf. I got myself golf clubs, shoes, balls, and even lessons (still ongoing by the way). Needless to say I still royally suck at it. I might not even come to a stage where I might have a decent game. I understand though why some people are addicted to it. It's like the elusive (obsessive?) quest for perfection. Sometimes I will hit a good shot and hit it straight but most of the time it seems like I have not made any improvements but you just keep on plugging along. I have a stubborn streak that has served me well in other pursuits hopefully it will pay off here too.
