How Quickly Our Golf Game Rusts!
Taking two weeks off definitely created the perfect conditions for rust to accumulate on my golf game. Surprisingly, my swing was okay but my shots after the tee box needed a great deal of work.

We decided to play the ball down and as a result, both of us found some very difficult lies as the round progressed. Regardless, it was the same for both of us and as such the fairest way to play our round. As it turned out, this match was a seesaw battle without a storybook ending.
