Sometimes, you just have to get away. Whether it be frustrations at the office or the craziness of our culture, you simply have to put some distance between yourself and whatever drains you spiritually and emotionally.
I took that opportunity today. Leaving work early, I headed out to a local driving range that features a short, 9-hole 29 par course. Taking advantage of a tip my brother-in-law gave me a few weeks ago, I used an adjusted grip that interlocks my hands more than I had previously. The result was probably the best day I've ever had swinging the irons. Granted, three 3-putts certainly didn't help my day, but I left the course feeling good about my performance.
Honestly, I felt good period. Having walked the 9 holes in the Alabama heat, I got a fair amount of exercise, fresh air and an unexpected respite from the burdens which usually weigh me down.
I'll never be a good golfer, but today, 15 over feels pretty good. As for all that other stuff, well, tomorrow will take care of itself.
