Powerlifting and Golf

Played a round of golf today. I walked and carried my bag. I feel
like I'm 70 years old. After any one of my powerlifting workouts, I
feel like I'm 20. Damn those hills can be grueling.

had a drag off a heater but god knows I've inhaled enough second hand
smoke:-( Sheesh, didn't realize what I loser I was when I smoked.

Did you get in before the rain? I was on 494 when it douched, made a mess
of traffic.

Never even got a drop. We played at River Oaks in Cottage Grove. We
even had partly sunny skies just before dusk.

I have clubs (that my dad gave me), but I don't play. I'd like to learn
someday. But I'd like to take lessons so I don't develop the infamous "bad
habits" of which all golfers speak.

When I took up golf, I studied everything I could get my hands on.
Read books, watched the golf channel, etc. Pretty much everyone's
advice was to take lessons. I still haven't but am thinking about
doing so.

When you think about spending $60-100 on lessons, it's actually quite
cheap when you think about all of the thousands of balls you may end
up hitting at the range to try to perfect your swing. You'll still
want to hit a lot of balls over the course of a season but you will be
that much more ahead with the lessons. Even Tiger has a coach (Butch
Harmon).

But, if it's a choice between never getting around to playing because
of never taking lessons and going out and taking your lumps, I'd go
out and take my lumps. It's a great game you can play well into your
twilight years and it's great exercise and it doesn't need to be
expensive (if the course allows walking, you can get by real cheap at
some courses). I see lots of families out on the course.

One other thing, there is no reason not to go to your local muni and
use their putting green to practice chipping and putting. It's pretty
hard to learn bad habits doing either as you aren't taking a full
swing. Our local one not only has a nice undulating green but they
have a second area on the other side of the driving range with a sand
trap and a not so well groomed green (doesn't matter as much when you
are just trying to get off the beach). You can chip, putt and
practice your sand game all day without spending a dime.
