Wow. The last blog entry here was in April - not long before I went on a sabbatical from golf. My last round was in May .. well, ok, I did play 13 holes in October. Having loved and played this sport since 1980, this is the longest stretch of time in which I have quit playing like this. Even the typical forced winter break is only a few months. Four or so. With 30 degree temps coming after today, there'll be even more time off. I needed the mental break - it's not hard for this sport to lose it's appeal sometimes.
