Picking Up Some Clubs

Things are going a little better here. We’re still waiting on new fence and roof for our home thanks to Hurricane Ike.

 

Last Monday, October 13th was my 11-year anniversary of marriage. The next day my husband took me to a sporting goods store here in Houston and bought me a set of golf clubs. For years I have gone with him to different golf courses just to drive the cart, have a few cocktails, and give him and his buddies FREE commentary on their game. Well the day came for me to try out my new clubs. I’ve played 18 holes twice now and I have found a lot of new muscles that I don’t recall having. It hasn’t been a hard game to pick up. Yesterday I went to the driving range by myself to try to figure out my distance with each club (this way I understand which club to use when playing instead of jusy guessing). Well I hit two buckets of balls, and by the time I was finished I could hardly move my arms. I think I’m starting to get a different type of workout in. 

 

I was just so bored with the gym. I am enjoying this new-found sport. Wish me luck, that the boys don’t give me too hard of a time like I did them. I’ll check back in later to let everyone know how it’s going. Thanks for all the support. Good luck everyone.

Janet, sorry to hear the hurricane affected you, hope things get repaired soon!

Congrats on 11 years!

Hooray for finding a new exercise, how exciting for you. Tying it into a way of spending more time with your husband and friends is an added bonus. Keep up the great work!
