Judging by the conditions outside there’ll be no practising the golf swing today. Actually it is far from a swing; more like a series of unnatural and uncoordinated twitches resulting in spasms of pain and unpredictable behaviour.

I’ll just have to research the perfect swing instead. Hmm, only 64 simple steps to having a good grip, stance, back swing, down swing and follow through (which is fine as long as I don't touch cloth). Judging by the amount of information out there, I’m beginning to suspect the perfect swing is as common as sasquatch.

Of course my true motivation is to spend less time on search and recovery of little white balls but I think that in the process I’m quickly removing the joy from what was supposed to be a few hours away from it all.

Maybe I’ll stick with my original approach with no scorecard and plenty of spare balls.
