Started at 80°, clear skies, a 7 mph breeze and a realistic attitude. This was my first round in a month, and for that reason I have listed it as a "practice round." First and foremost, it was GREAT to be back playing again, but my expectations were nonexistent. My goal for today was to ease back into my game with no expectations and a hat full of "acceptance." It wasn't easy but I managed to accomplish my goal, especially with some of the shots I hit. Even though I started my round alone, I was pretty much forced to join two guys on the 2nd tee (I was with them until after #11 when they quit) and then acquired another player when the others left. It wasn't too bad, but I didn't get as much work done as I would have otherwise, but it is what it is. I found that when I finished I was very tired, and although I didn't expect that I understood it. All in all a great day, pain free at the moment but I'm going to hold off passing judgement until tomorrow. I probably won't try to play again until Sunday, but only if I'm pain free.
