Golf

This morning I picked Mom up and brought her to my place. We watched the US Open Golf Tournament all afternoon. It was very interesting watching the men playing in the wet conditions caused by all the rain we've had. They would hit the ball and when it landed it stopped Dead in it's track. Very few balls that landed rolled because the greens were so soggy. Some of the lead players I had never even heard of. I guess that's because I haven't been watching golf on tv in quite a few years. I would know the men on the senior tour. The Ladies Us Open begins on July 11th. I will watch that that weekend. I don't know many of the young ladies on the circuit either. It will be interesting to watch them play. I remember that my father liked to watch the women play. I believe that was because he felt it was easier to learn from watching them play. Maybe if I start watching the women play, I may learn something which would help my game. They make it look so easy but I can tell you that it's not easy. Even Tiger has bad days like today for example. He just wasn't playing like the Tiger. They say that golf is a mental game more than a physical game for the pros. It's both for someone as unskilled as me. I may not get on a golf course this year, but I know that I will go to the driving range to hit balls. Hopefully, that will improve my swing and thereby help my game.
