My joy when I finally returned to the golf course for an ordinary practice session after another long break was so uncontainable that I greeted everything I encountered, even things I adamantly try to avoid when I play. The driving range, trees, signs, water hazards, bunkers, flags, and, last but not least, holes: I emphatically embraced their sights & said hello to every one of them. The fact that it was a warm & sunny day didn't hurt, either. Are you still golfing in November? Let's rock!
