Hitting the Net

It was a rainy weekend, no golf. I went to the range, balls were wet, nets were wet, tees were wet, the range was sheltered, but after three days of rain, everything was soaked.

Met a guy, a guy I went golfing with at the range.

Meeting a friend at driving range is actually more fun talking than anything else. Talked about equipment, swing technique, etc, more like the whole universe of golf was upon us. No practicing, you don't practice at the range with a friend, you just don't. Anyway, in the fun of all the talk, we started testing out each other's clubs.

I drove one to the net. Since the net was wet, the water repelled from the vibration of the ball hitting the net. It was really a good scene, only that I could not capture it with photograph but words. Watching your driven ball repelling water from the net was one super cool experience, especially when there was a someone witnessing it. Well, the net was only 250 yds out, it was not super long drive, but still it was encouraging because how often do I get to see ball repelling water at the end of its trajectory, not vertically like from the pond but horizontally from the net?

Lately, people started asking me how do I drive a ball. To my surprise, people started listening to what I had to say. All this time, I had all these opinions about golf, no one listen or even question. All a sudden, somehow I hit the net one after another, people started to listen, even when I was bullshiting.

Guess what? I lost interest in experiencing my opinion.
