The Humbler
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
After work today I will attempt to rekindle an old relationship that I ended over a year ago. The relationship ended on unhappy terms, so I'm not sure how it will go, but I firmly believe that if we both learn to compromise, it can work.
I am talking about the game of golf, or what I like to call The Humbler.
I started playing golf seriously about the time I graduated from college (2001). After a year of playing at least once a week, I was showing definite signs of improvement, but then the relationship went south. My game didn't really make a turn for the worse, but it remained rather stagnant. I had plenty of room for improvement and I figured if I spent time each week playing the game, I should get better. But after another year of playing, my level of play surely didn't improve. I stopped playing consistently and eventually my swing went downhill. Then, with the little ego that I had left, I told golf not to come around until it could play nice.
Well, The Humbler and I met at a driving range Saturday and had a little discussion. It went well and we both decided we miss our time together so we're going to meet up this afternoon and see what happens. But ONLY as friends, so niether of us expect too much.
Wish me luck...
