Life-Golf-Balance

I am not satisfied with my current Life-Golf-Balance. So far, I played only three tournaments this year, most of my rounds are 9 hole rounds during weeknights and whenever special occasions come along, I cannot play. This week for example: yesterday, I could have played a T-Mobile/Blackberry invitational tournament at GC Wannsee, I had to work. Saturday, I could play a Rolls-Royce invitational tournament at GC Motzen, I can’t because we have friends visiting this weekend (and they don’t play golf, otherwise we would have found a solution. Next monday, theres the opportunity to play the Hockenberg Classic Pro-Am an event of the EPD-Tour, yeah, you guessed right, it’s work again.

Even the Matchplay-League thing is getting a bit of a pain in the ass to organise. Stefan can’t play until September due to a knee surgery, Kristina left the team, Lutz is on vacation and Ingo can only play one date. So for the first match I had to organise yet another player, Martin will join me on Sunday in Prenden against Berlin Business’n'Golf. What I just found out is that the Matchplay-League is played without handicap compensation. So no chance against a single handicapper, all members of my team have a handicap between 20 and 36.

We’ll see on sunday. We are playing against 10 and 18 handicappers, so it should be quite a struggle to score some points. At least I know that I can produce a good score in Prenden, so some pars and the occasional birdie might help.

    I hear you and feel your pain. Work is one of the evils keeping me from playing better. And then there are blog ‘duties’ on top…

    These guys on the opposite seem to have plenty of time on-hand, throwing in the one or other party…scary though. Just the thought alone (even before he hits) made my toes cringe.

    Anyway, good luck on Sunday!

    Thanks for the sympathy. I’ll file a full report on sunday!

    About the video: cannot believe they did that!!!

    I share your pain. Time, and some other stuff, has prevented me from playing golf in the last weeks. I’m currently going for weeks now without playing a round, just two quick visits to the driving range was all.

 

Say something!
