Another Great Golf Shot

Hi Everyone,
I played golf yesterday for the first time in a long long time.

I rented a golf cart and we played at Schaumberg Golf Course
off Roselle rd.

I was a golfer (once a week) for years before children and
my slice got me so upset---driving it into the woods to the right
that I didn't want to play. There was another reason but no need to
go there.
-------------
During the last few months I spent a lot of time in bed. I kept thinking
why do I slice.

On one good day I got on the net and watched Ben Hogan explain the swing
and why we slice the ball.

As I laid in bed I kept rethinking that swing and making it my swing...SWING
THE HIPS FIRST BEFORE THE ARMS.

I got to try it Yesterday and unbelieable. I slightly sliced on the first hole.

All the other 8 holes, my drives were straight down the middle and 40 yds further
than the other 3 guys I played with...about 240 ???or more


My favorite was on the photo where I didn't hit the ball perfect but it did travel
over water at the 175 yd mark and then between tightly placed sand traps to
within 10 feet of the cup.

Of course I,, 3 putted....but that didn't matter....I played the shot as if it were
no big deal even though the others said hit the ball up to the water and then
hit again over it...you can't hit it that far over the water.

Nope, I did it....at 65 yrs old.

I hope its not a fluke and maybe in the future I'll play without a slice on every hole.

talk later,,,,,Hawks parade was TREMENDOUS and the players were all
young 21 yrs having a great time with at least 2 million folks gathered for
the festivities.
