From Neil Steinberg’s op-ed in the Chicago Sun-Times:
A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the interstate. Nothing is moving.
Suddenly a man walks over. The driver rolls down his window and asks: ‘‘What’s going on?’’
‘‘Terrorists down the road have kidnapped George W. Bush and
Dick Cheney. They’re asking for a $100 million ransom. Otherwise
they’re going to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We’re
going from car to car, taking up a collection.’’The driver asks, ‘‘How much is everyone giving, on average?’’
‘‘Most people are giving about a gallon.’’

But not the driving range!
I had my second in a series of golf lessons today. My stance is different. My grip is different. My arm position is different.
And just when I had started getting half-decent!
So now, it’s like I’m going to start over, again. I feel, however, that the return to normalcy will happen much more quickly this time!
Two things I learned:
- When they say “keep your left arm straight”, they don’t mean your wrist. This is the only way I can stand closer to the ball, and it depends upon my wrists being fairly relaxed.
- In order to keep from hitting left, I need to remember to “throw the club at the target”.
– update — One week later, the blister I got on my right thumb has started to fade.
