I&#8217;m the one who wrote the title of this post. I&#8217;m also the one doing most of the bitching.<\/p>\n<p>To those who know I play golf, it&#8217;s the same old sob story &#8211; they ask how my golf season was and my answer, &#8220;that I&#8217;ve hardly played golf this year&#8221; sounds as though I&#8217;m someone in mourning.<\/p>\n<p>And perhaps I am. I&#8217;m mourning the death of what was once a spring, summer and fall packed with golf nearly every weekend. But this year that&#8217;s all changed. I haven&#8217;t played since early August, which seems like eons ago. I explained the reasons for <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2011\/09\/gaga-golf-and-gout.html\">my dearth of golf in this post<\/a> from September.<\/p>\n<p>Autumn is typically my favorite time of year to play &#8211; the bright colors of New England trees, the crisp air &#8211; yet sadly this fall, I haven&#8217;t stepped one-foot on a tee-box, fairway or green. Not because of the gout (I&#8217;ve shed 15 pounds now and have been hobble-free for a few months), but for  a multitude of other things, including <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2011\/10\/is-golf-still-fun-when-its-freezing-out.html\">a freak October snow storm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My aguish over not playing has gotten so bad that I recently thought to myself; &#8220;so this is how it would be if I quit golf altogether.&#8221; Seriously, thinking of myself standing on a tee-box getting ready to hit is almost surreal for me these days&#8230;what was it like to hit a perfect tee shot on a bright sunny day? I&#8217;m not really sure I know anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, but this is all bull shit, isn&#8217;t it? We weekend hacks are stuck in a catch 22 &#8211; we don&#8217;t play enough so we are hacks. We&#8217;re hacks because we don&#8217;t play enough. We could go on and on. But the truth is we are husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, homeowners, employees, supervisors, vice presidents and grandparents. In other words; we have lives.<\/p>\n<p>And in most cases, the parenting, managing and maintenance takes precedence over golf &#8211; not just because these things have to come first, but often because we want them to come first (like spending time with my 1-year-old, for instance). Would we love to be out on the course more often? Of course. Is that realistic? Not for many. So we lace-up the soft spikes when we can and sign a scorecard that ends up looking like we went bowling instead. It is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>So when you do get a chance to play, why beat yourself up over how bad you shoot? The fact that you&#8217;re out there having fun; enjoying the day; enjoying the camaraderie; and having some &#8220;me&#8221; time &#8211; isn&#8217;t that really what this game is all about?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I&#8217;ve played only 7 times this season and yes, I&#8217;ve complained about it.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m a hypocrite no longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a hypocrite.
