The golf fundraiser was fun even with some rain and our foursome actually used some of my shots in the best ball.
Golf is definitely *not* like riding a bike. You don't just sail in after a few decades and pick up where you left off. If I were to take up the sport again, I would have to learn a new way to swing that works with my less flexible upper body. When I swing, my muscle memory assumes my body will respond the way it did when I was a teenager - but it doesn't.
The clubs have changed too; the woods are insanely large. Everyone was laughing at my tiny woods, which are actually made of wood. That isn't done anymore.
Golf isn't part of my life anymore so many friends don't know that I golfed every summer day as a teenager, went to the Ontario Champs a few times and won our club's senior and junior ladies' championships. So I'm fully aware of how bad I am now and it honestly doesn't bother me at all. That would be a huge surprise to 17-year-old Bash! I remember how hard I worked on my skills back then, and as Wilberto said in the comments, I have no right to expect to be able to hit a golf ball well. When I had a good shot today, I celebrated and if I hit it poorly, I shrugged. We had a lot of fun and I will probably do this event again next year.
