I realize I've been delinquent in providing you fresh and interesting golfnoise material. And for that I'm forever apologetic. As a matter of fact, I've had very little on-course link time this summer. I admit it. I've been really busy with other non-golf activities.

What could be more important than golf you ask? Well perhaps I'll cover that in a future post. Suffice to say I've had a busy summer ...off the course.

So what happens to your game when you don't play? That's an easy one. It evaporates, drifts and suffers. That's the friendly way I've been refering to my game. To the few whom I have shared a round with, they just look with wonder on how the simple shots can go so far off line and into the skraggle. 

What's an angry and frustrated golfer to do? Grin and bear it, of course. Golf can be a wicked mistress when she's not regularly tended to. But the punishment for my absence seems so severe. The scorecard tally grows with reckless abandon. Cash literally flies out of my wallet and lands decisively in my opponent's. It's just not right!

Time to rise above the sub humanity of inadequate execution. I'm signing up for a lesson or two. I'm in dire need of some fresh swing thoughts.

I'll explain to my future golf redemptor that I need help in just a few areas. I need some driver consistency as well some long iron work. I also need some middle iron assistance and some help with pitching and chipping. Oh and I could use a good deal of putting advice.

Hmmm. That doesn't leave much meat on the bone, now does it?

So what's happened to your handicap this year. Give us a shout and tell us all about it!
