Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

I could have played today but decided not to when a PP asked if I was going to the course for a coffee. He is the guy who has been diagnosed with Prostate cancer. Me, my younger brother and the guy had a real open man to man talk about all things men go through. Me brother even opened up about some things he went through when he was in the “ Bilsthorpe mining disaster”. Google it.
Suffice to say it was deep. after about 40 mins, 4 lads who had gone out for 9 holes then said sod it coz of the weather n came into the 19th. It then went up a level. God how we laughed and talked. The guy who has just been diagnosed with Prostate cancer had a good 20 mins talking to a guy who had his Prostate out 7 years ago. He was explaining how it has affected his ability to get an erection. But he can then driving along and all of a sudden he is standing proud. We were crying with laughter.
As it happens the guy who has been diagnosed with PC. The people he has been dealing with in the hospital is people who Missis Tash worked with.
The things we all talked about were refreshing and it was good to see the lads get a lot off there chests.
 
Playing 9 holes this morning and finishing with a heel that isn't making me double up in pain with every step....
The difference is that I used my trolley for the 2nd time this year......
I can still feel the inflammation but it's more uncomfortable than what it normally feels like - stepping on a red hot piece of Lego wrapped in barbed wire....
Those who have experienced Plantar fasciitis will know what I mean....
Just need the rain to ease a d no more trolley bans.......
 
Played yesterday for the first time in a couple of months and struck the ball really well. Driving was great, long and with a baby draw. Irons and fairways good as well. Almost as if I know what I'm doing.

(Post one in a series of two, the second of which will appear shortly in the irrations thread about how badly I'm playing)
