Nice thing about blogs is you can ramble on any topic; it's your blog.  Anyway the reason I got started on Outstanding Poker is that I was on a medical leave from work for a hernia repair that ended up being more work than the surgeon thought.  I was cleared about 2 weeks ago to go back to work and had been off from work for about 9 weeks.  Well yesterday was my first golf game of the season thanks to the surgery.

I was pretty nervous, wasn't sure if all that core swinging was going to create further issues for me at the surgical site.  Decided that I would concentrate on the beer more than the golf and see how it all went.  Well to my surprise, the surgery might be good for my golf game, it has forced me to slow down my swing dramatically, I have lost some distance because of it, but my accuracy is up about 90%.  Played a pretty narrow course yesterday and only put 1 ball in the woods the whole game.  I usually burn a sleeve or two per 9 holes.  I even pulled off a natural birdie on hole 16.

It was really nice being back on the course, nicer that I might have sorted out my golf game and all it took was a realatively major surgery to do it.  Oh irony, how thus mocks me!
