I'm actually playing this weekend for the 1st time all year...the downside to the weekend warrior is trying to find time to play this damn game. But there aren't too many places out there where I'm more relaxed. While I'm ultra-competitive in just about everything I do, for some reason, I'm not when I play golf. I always shoot for bogey golf, and if I'm under bogey, great...and if not, there is always the next hole or the next round.
Golf is humbling to me...knowing that one day I can go out and shoot an 82, and the next day a 104. Where the difference between a good day and a great day can be 4 or 5 putts. Where a gift from the Gods can be a gust of wind that carries your drive another 20 yards just over that fairway bunker, or that gift easily taken away with a shank into the tree line to your right. Where you can play the same game, whether you spend $1200 or $120 on your clubs, and either $50 or $5 a dozen on your golf balls.

You want to talk about humbling..... Let me tell you a quick story. I go down to Ocean City MD. every year on a golf trip with a few friends. Well we all went out the night before our round and got all tore up. I slept about 3 hours. I got to the course the next day and wanted to die I was so hung over. Well I went out and shot the best round I've ever had. 76. Just hit it pure all day long. I thought I had it all figured out. The next day I blew up and shot a 104. That's a 28 stroke difference in two days. After that 104 I was so mad I almost gave it up.
