I Lost Twice

Mini Post: I lost … Twice –

By Wayne Halm –

On November 13^th 2016 I played the Puakea Golf Course with my golf group.  I don’t normally post about group play because I don’t want to distract anyone with pictures … but this was different.

My wife, Sally, walked along with me to “coach” me and to get in her FitBit steps.

I didn’t need much coaching for 15 holes … more pars than bogies, and that is good for me.  Okay, there was one hardheaded double on the card.  I just had to try a low percentage shot (and yes, the “coach” told me all about how dumb that was).  But overall I was feeling good.

Then I lost it … completely lost it – the rhythm, the feel, the concentration  … everything.  I tripled the last three holes and lost the game – and Sally’s money (she pockets whatever I win) .

The game was one loss … what was the other loss?

My golfing buddies, I lost my golfing buddies to Sally. She so charmed them that they asked me to take a picture of them … I was relegated to group photographer. (Milton, Sally, William, and Wendell)

.

They laughed the entire back nine … usually at me.  But that was okay, we were having FUN.  Laughter and smiles – It was the way golf should be.

I have a 2016 goal of playing golf with 100 people that I haven’t met.  I’ve played with Milton and Wendell before, but this was the first time I’ve met William – he is number 42.  Want to be in that number?

Come play golf with me.
