Spring is officially here but you would never be able to tell here in Norway…I mean the Northeast. I figured by now when I look out the window in the morning there would be stuff budding and not snow. Wtf! That still didn’t stop me though. Damn right I hit up the practice range…two extra large buckets!
And what a mistake that was. I tend to suffer from 18/80 syndrome and unfortunately there is still no known cure. You see, the fever had set in and I was blinded by memories of warm summer days on the course. Although I agree with the whole doing things in moderation, I wouldn’t be a male species if I actually practiced it.
It’s great to tell your friends about dieting and exercising in moderation because it makes you seem like you got your s*** together and that you’re intelligent. In reality, I go hit 300 balls and then ingest 3000 calories at the nearest drive thru because I just “worked out” and need to feed those starving muscles. So much for moderation.
Today, I am ecstatic my keyboard is below shoulder level. I had to use water for my cereal this morning because milk is on the top shelf. Ok, I’m exaggerating a little but I’m definitely more aware of muscle groups I never knew existed. Here’s to moderation!
Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!

Here in central NJ…where’s the Spring?
Our Friday league is supposed to start in two weeks…and it was 31-degress this morning and NOTHING is budding yet…to say nothing of the turf-grass.

You’ll get there Pete, stick with it.
The best part is once you get in better shape your golf scores will drop dramatically!

I try my best to get in shape…round is a shape, right?

Hitting 300 balls your first time out….WOW! That is a tough way to start the season. I agree that moderation at the beginning of the golf season is very difficult. I guess that is what happens when your golf course is covered with snow for 5 months of the year!
Cheers
Jim

You know what Jim, I think I had my numbers mixed up…it was 200 balls and 300 wings! 🙂
