Now that we have been living on a golf course for a little over a month I thought it is time I learn to play golf. I am bad....like really bad. I swing like I am trying to hit a home run, look very mechanical, and have no "flow". Every time I hit the ball it goes way right, so look out! While in Boone visiting my family yesterday I thought I would take advantage of their acreage and work on my swing. My mom gave me a lesson and I have decided she is good at everything! I now know I need to work on being smooth, not trying to "kill the ball", don't bring the club back too far, and keeping my chest down. These are just a few of the many things I need to work on. By the end of my "lesson" (which she said I can pay her for later) I was hitting much straighter. I was also getting more consistent, so their is hope I can be a golfer after all. Other good news.... I brought 8 golfball and left with 8 golfballs after searching for a very long time.
My mom has given me basketball, pitching, fielding, hitting, discuss, trumpet, math, etc. lessons all my life. I would have to say by this time in my life it is probably more enjoyable for all involved. No more teenage meltdowns! I am very thankful for the time she has spent with me working on these skills and am very happy their is still more to learn. Hopefully soon we can go golfing together. However, that may be a ways out because in her words, "You went from being really bad, to just bad." I take that as a compliment :)
Thanks for a fun afternoon and helping me golf! <3
Lucky you! Living on a golf course! Pretty sure if I ever lived on or close to a course my family would never see me. As for learning to play don't give up, the first drive I ever hit went between my legs and behind me, now my handicap is a 9. Keep practicing, it will come.
