	Going golfing tomorrow Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

It's the first time in two years, so yesterday I went to the driving range.

Now, what you need to know about me is that I'm a terrible golfer. I shoot about 120 on 18 holes. The worst problem I have is an enormous slice. I'm talking about a ball that often ends up going 90 degrees to the original direction of travel.

So yesterday I decided that I was just going to change things about my swing until it started working better. I changed my distance from the ball, how far forward on the ball I was, how flexed my knees were, etc.

All had some small impact on distance and direction. The big change happened when I straightened up my left arm (I shoot right handed) almost completely. The first shot I hit went perfectly straight. It was like a miracle to me. The next 10 balls I hit all went perfectly straight too. And I was plugging them 210-225 in the air. They might have run farther, but this driving range only went out to 225, so I was hitting the backstop, sometimes before hitting the ground.

I proceeded to hit another 2 buckets, and every club I hit with (driver, 3 wood, 3 iron, 7 iron) was the same thing. Whether the ball was teed up or on the "grass" I was ****ing killing them in a perfectly straight line down the range. I ****ed up maybe 5% of the shots.

I swear that if I can hit like this on the course I'm going to drop 20 strokes off my game and play under 100 for the first time in my life.

I hit a ****ing 7 iron 150 yards off the turf yesterday. It dropped about 5 feet from where I was aiming it.

I practically jizzed my pants.

KH, this is personal speculation but you seem good at whatever you do, so why not?

I'm not good at everything by a long stretch. Even if I do shoot under a hundred that's not a good score.

I'm going with somebody who's probably going to shoot high 70s. Me betting on golf would be a losing proposition

He's also a better poker player than me. I'm more consistent, but he can read people better.

On the other hand, I'm a better physicist than he is, and my fiancée is prettier.
