LanTerra Blog > With an early morning wake up call and a very vibrant red sun rise I headed out to an already sun baked and warm patch this morning.
Then it was off to the golf course for a game. The weather was warm bright and fresh. The course was extremely green, well manicured and the rolling greens were smooth as glass. After a very solid straight first drive of about 240 yards, I promptly three putted the first hole and settled in for what I thought would be a long day. I was wrong.
The opportunity to play was just what I needed after another disappointing day at the doctors office. Health concerns often become a drudge due to all the worrying involved.
The golf course always has a way of setting me back down on the ground. Playing a couple of times a week I make some putts and loose some balls but after years of toil with work, baseball and pumpkins it is all good in the grand scheme of things.
The pilgrimage to the 19th hole is a nice break. I was an avid golfer at one time many, many years ago. We used to play Sundays and Wednesdays. Many a good time was had as we hacked about on our field of dreams .
Every Sunday we would head out to that golf patch know as Lakewood Golf and Country Club. On the shores of Lake St. Clair. At 6:32 sharply we would arrive. With crystal clear dew on our feet we trudged away the week�s labors.
Occasionally one of us would play extremely well and sometimes poorly too. The break from the daily grind was refreshing, no double or triple bogey could wash away its effect.
The mornings with my friends were special moments. Always bright and sunny, filled with hope driven down a shimmering brightly colored green fairway that never ended.
Taking time to appreciate free leisure time is what a good hobby is all about. The greatest gift we have is standing back on the first tee reflecting and soaking it all in.
No badly sliced drive or split pumpkin can ever take that away.
