This is a long chapter... About half way through we have the concept of M & R units. That being Motivation and Response. String enough and your novel is done!
We have to have a hero, and he must be emotional. The world revolves around his feelings -- at least in the story one will write.
Ok, enough about all of that.
I've not yet gotten around to declare my happiness for waterproof golf shoes. I found some Sketchers, on sale, quite comfortable, and made out of a rubberized material. Or as they put it, "Artificial upper and balance man-made material." Basically made from old dinosaurs and trees.
While cold and wet have claimed the courses, my feet have been warm and dry. A rubber upper will not breath! But when the frost is on the fairways, no complaints will I make.
We're having lunch at Wente, an upscale course and there's a guy putting out racks of golf wear. Smelling a possible bargain, Sonny and I wander over to talk shop.
"What's this going for?" I ask with a simple black jacket in my hands.
"Oh, we are just demoing the clothes. They are not for sale here. That's our top of the line Gortex jacket, MSRP is $499."
Gulp! So you want to see the feelings from our hero? I dash back to the table quickly slug down some water and then some wine and then some more water. "It should last you five years," says Sonny trying to be helpful. Yeah, $500 for a jacket. I don't think so.
I'm cautiously thinking that I may have fixed the take away and down swing. I played the short course late this morning and then did some pitching practice. It all looks good. I'm making a better circle around my body, but keeping the hands in a reasonably upright plane. Coming down, I'm managing to copy the arc of the backswing. The feeling of rotating everything around my body is keeping me from lurching forward and allowing the club to whip out in front of me. I'm ending up in balance and happy.
It all feels good, controllable, repeatable, and the ball is going straight too! Works on long and short shots and even the greenside bunker.
Tomorrow is an off day, but I may hit a bucket. Stay tuned loyal readers.
