As heat rises, motivation wanes

I don’t have much to report from my golf experiences of late because even I have a heat tolerance index.  This past week, my motivation to go out and walk around chasing my little white golf ball just wasn’t there so much.   I realized this after we played River’s Bend in Thompson Falls, MT, late last week.   As if the first nine-hole round wasn’t hot enough, we decided we needed to try again to conquer the course and went for another nine holes.  With the Clark Fork running alongside the course, humidity added to the heat index.  It was a nice course to play.  I hope to get back there when the temperature isn’t quite so blazing.

Since then, I have played one other nine-hole round at Hangman, where, I have to say that the whole new sand thing they have going on there is absolutely no fun. You’d think after a few months it’d be settled and easier to manage, but not so for me. Okay, so after all this griping, I’ll end by saying that I still love the game and with cooler weather in the forecast, I’ll be out there and actually enjoying chasing that little white ball.
