Mindless Juices

Yeah, I wish. So, I was invited by my across the street neighbor, Josh, to make a foursome for Saturday afternoon/evening. The price was right and I looked forward to meeting new people and embarrassing myself on the golf course. However, I had a wicked hook when I went out to the driving range a couple of weeks ago. I needed to fix it before I played 18 holes. Donnie wanted to go out to the driving range, so this was a good chance tofigure out what I am doing wrong and fix it. Unfortunately, I only curbed it slightly and still not enough to play 18 holes effectively. Moreover, I forgot to practice some chipping and putting. I think I need to go back, but I really don't want to spend that much money... at the same time, I want to get better. (sigh) Enter dilemma. Meanwhile, Donnie... well, I wish I could hit as consistently as he does. He "chunks" about as often as I do, but every ball he hits well goes straight or has a minor hook. Minor enough that I could play to it if I had it. So, I'm quite jealous. I was happy that with just a few small pointers, I think I helped his consistency out. He may only hit about 100-150 yards with a good balls rolling to 200, but they're straight. 150 yard drive with a good chip should get you on the green with two putts on any course. So, I have to play on Saturday and I'm not feeling very confident. I just hope I'm not a huge embarassment amongst the other guys with which I will be playing. Or, I hope I'm such a huge embarassment that it's incredibly funny and never annoying.
