First Golf Sunday of 2021

The first golf Sunday of 2021 wasn't like a typical one. This one started at 9:50 because we got a rare chance to play at Harbor Park Golf Course. You remember we played this course on a brisk extremely windy day in November. Today wasn't windy at all. But it is a cooler day in January. None of us are complaining about that obviously. We're just glad we get to play here. That did not show up in our golf games unfortunately. I will say right now right up front that between the 3 of us, there was only 1 par the entire game. And that came on Hole 8. It went to Greg although on that particular hole we were all on the green after the tee shot and we all had a good chance for a par. Only Greg converted his. Scott and I blew our par putts and that would be that. Still I do remember a slew of good shots I hit from the tee. Actually, except for the one on Hole 3 where I yanked it to the left but it still got pretty good distance. There was the beautiful drive on Hole 7 that went 225 yards and straight. Too bad I would muff the next 2 shots to get to the green and even then had a long putt for par that missed. The resulting 3-putt would only get me a double bogey. And the long long Hole 5 where I hit a great tee shot and a nice 5-iron straight down the fairway, but missed my next one short and again 3-putted my way to a double bogey. The next hole actually went exactly the way I planned it. An iron to the right of the hole, another iron to get near the pin. But I would miss the long putt and settle for a bogey. It was like that pretty much all day actually. Earlier on Hole 4, I hit an iron 150 yards and short of the trap and got an approach shot right near the green. But instead of getting a bogey I missed the putt. When those things happen, all I can do is shrug my shoulders and go "oh well". At least we got out on a pretty dreary but expectedly colder January day. AND we got done by noon yet. I even thought about stopping at IN-N-Out or Bristol Farms for old favorites... before I went back to the old usual salmon kabobs from Crimson. I was tired today from last night's lack of sleep. I needed to take a nap in the afternoon. And I actually did get more than an hour in, even though my Fitbit wouldn't record it. I reminded myself that this was the last Sunday of the holiday break. And the symbolic end to the holiday season not that it made any bit of an impression really. This was the holiday of the pandemic. And it didn't seem any different than usual to me.  I did want to keep some things in the forefront of my consciousness and that is that I have some outcomes i need to accomplish, especially if they were really the same ones as last year.  It means I have to keep working on my focus, and keep working on minimizing distractions and minimizing procrastination. Already I'm a little annoyed at myself that I hadn't picked up where I left off with the Jose Silva Training thing. I mean all that stuff I had downloaded FOR FREE that sold for $275! Which means the Universe actually has delivered since that would be stuff I'd be buying with extra money I've been visualizing anyway. And still I saw myself focused on downloading some more movies today. On the one hand, it really is something I'd be doing if I had all the money in the world. But... is it hoarding? Or worse, if I really did have all the money in the world, wouldn't I just be buying these things off Amazon videos or Google Play? So still stuff to work on and this weekend, I'm simply running out of free time. And so clearly the work I need to do is PATIENCE and DISCIPLINE. Which is easier said than done. But I'm game. I'm all over the place though I can tell. Even my food choices. I tried to make my own pad thai last night but ended up eating DiGiornio's pizza too. Where's my head? Catching up on the sleep I didn't get last night that's where. Anyway, weekend is over, holidays are over and time to start the work week for a brand new work year. Gonna be fun. I can tell LOL.
