Back after a year out

[bigfoot1985]

Finally decided to take the game back up after a year out.

I went to play rugby about a year ago and golf got pushed to back of my things to do as i was 100% rugby, getting fit playing games ect. There isnt much longer left of the season so i have decided to take the game back up.

I was playing off a 15hc but i have been out prob 4 times in past week and im far from that standard which is annoying!!

I know its going to take a bit of time, but i say Roll on the SUMMER!!!

I had a year out about 7 years ago as I lost the love for the game, I was taking it too seriously and letting bad shots get to me way too much. I ended up being invited for a knock with one of my friends one day & thought why not....needless to say I got the bug back and haven't looked back since.

It wont take you long to get back to your previous standard, my handicap actually came down when I started the game up again.

Yea i was in same boat as you, lost the love for the game.

I joined a club for the first time started playing comps, got myself worked up with bad shots, not hitting my handicap. Found myself getting angry with it so left it. But i have a different approach now, play the game as a social thing with my dad and mates.

Maybe one day i will join back up to a club and play in comps but for now im happy to just go for a knock

The funny thing is I didn't even miss it until I had that one game which I really enjoyed and then I felt like I had to get out and play as often as I could.

Out of interest what parts of the game are missing from last year or is it a little of everything?

Had an enforced break from September through to Christmas. Now got the bug back and ready to get back playing regularly

I'm in the middle of an enforced break & still won't hit a ball for at least two more months ............ absolutely chomping at the bit.
I just can't wait.
