So, what did happen next?
Well back last November I was striving for the elusive "Legend" tag. I was really, really trying to hit the low 30s needed and it got to the stage where I would bomb any round where I didn't hit a birdie on the first or hit a bogie anywhere. Which meant I was completing about as many rounds as I would against Iron Mike in his prime. Then one day just thought "Fek it, this just isn't any fun". I'd rather be giving oral gratification to a skunk who hadn't washed in a week. So just stopped playing. I dabbled with the WGT Baseball - if you think the b*tching is bad on these forums............anyway I digress.
So for the next nine months I worked, I played, I holidayed in Bequia, I drank and I continued to try to find that elusive way into the Wife's delightful nether regions. I did play the odd few rounds every now and then and, of course, not having played for months, was truly abysmal.
Then a few weeks ago I thought "let's have another go". Still using the same old WGT 12S balls - ie 1 dot of spin and fek all else to help a decent round - still not paying a single penny. But I did play full rounds and slowly, very slowly the average started to tumble. Until tonight.
From tonight the average will only go one way. Up. Going to need some better balls all of a sudden I think.
