I have been losing my mind not being able
to step out to the golf course. Fortunately it
is because of very good reasons and other
options have presented themselves. My
family and I went on a cruise to Costa Maya
and Cozumel Mexico. Also, I received my
first full time internship with a safety services
company in Baton Rouge.
I am busy and still find time to pick up a
club in my living room to swing it around
and keep the feeling in my body to have
whenever I take it back to the first hole of
the unfortunate golf course that I decide to
play that day because of my limited practice
time. Even on the cruise ship, as a family, we
picked up some putters and played the mini
golf course on the boat.
This mini golf course was small, but I felt
as if I was playing on a California next to the
Pacific Ocean because of the high winds as
the boat cruised across the water. Wow, the
ball would not stay still, and I could not even
make it stay still without using my foot to
hold it still and release it just as I was coming
through with my forward swing.
Jake, Aaron (my soon to be brother-in-
law), and I unfortunately could not tote our
clubs to the Caribbean to get a round in, but
we were very competitive on the mini golf
course. It gave us another aspect to the cruise
that this small form of competition could be
extremely fun for hours on the cruise.
Our family just became members at Oak
Knoll Country Club, and with this new
internship opportunity, I look to play more
golf on the weekends with Jake and get a little
more instruction to improve my game.
My current goal is to consistently break
80. I’ve done it a few times, but I really want
to take my game and make everything more
consistent. I get that heartsick feeling when I
lose that one shot out of bounds a round and
shoot an 81 instead of a 79.
