Sports junkie
July 3rd 2006 -
I managed the trifecta this weekend: archery, golf and squash. All went very well. In fact, I got one of my best ever scores for golf: 47 for the back nine at Warringah. What’s particularly interesting to me is that I have been playing very, very badly, and I stopped playing for a month or so, and this was my first game back. Mysteriously, my drives worked, and my putting was not the usual disaster.
Squash was also unusually good: I played against Paul-whose-dad-is-a-squash-coach, and we were pretty much even, considering he started with a handicap of 5 (for 15 point games). The handicap went up whenever he won a game by more than 2 points, and down whenever I won a game by more than 2 points. I ended with a handicap of 3. But we were both pretty exhaused by that point.
And archery was, as usual, fun but tiring. I’m beginning to get used to the new bow weight (34lb) but the scores are still wildly varying: my best was 55, and my worst was 38.
So now I’m sore, but in a good way.
