It’s back. Warm weather has finally returned to us after a grueling winter. There is a true correlation between golfing and a spring day that links the two so tightly that it is almost impossible not to fantasize about playing 18 when the smell of fresh cut grass fills the air. We all have been sitting at work or sitting in class on a 70 degree day and have daydreamed about putting for birdie. Putting for bogey is probably more accurate, at least for my case, but the score is not the point. What is important is that golf and warm days go together like bunkers and sand wedges.
All this being said, I am not one of those guys who believes the old cliche that worst day on the golf course beats the best day at work. That’s ridiculous. Sometimes the game of golf can get in your mind, infect your brain, and ruin an entire weekend. You might hit a couple bad shots in a round, come back home and be short tempered with your wife or significant other, and then, before you know it, you’re in the doghouse. All this because of a couple bad drives out of the tee box.
I’ve played horrible rounds on beautiful 75 degree days, and I have played great rounds during a November 40 degree rainstorm. Just like anything else, golf is what you get out of it. If you just want to go out there to enjoy the weather, then do not get agitated when you shank one or twelve into the woods. After all, you’re out there just to enjoy the day right?
I’d probably just go to work if I had to putt through that crap on the left.
Hit ‘em Long, Hit ‘em Straight,
