GCP Winter Cam

I thought I was prepared mentally for the difference between the balmy winter golf of Phoenix, versus the cabin-fevered inactivity of Prague . . .



I thought I was conditioned by the inexorable approach of winter weather in Prague, the progression from cold and wet conditions to frozen unplayability, to acceptance . . .


But the snow shrouded fairways fill me with melancholy. Then enforced idleness makes my joints and muscles ache even more than the aguing cold . . . My PC Golf games whet my appetite, rather than temporize it . . .

The yearning to play golf itself is intense, but to play these particular fairways, is even more intense . . . in this picture we can see #2 & #9 . . . just as I did last summer, I hunger to hit the big drive past the big tree in the middle of #2, and wedge onto the green, and have another go at a birdie, which so far has eluded me . . . just like last summer, I hunger to hit the big drive and the solid mid-iron across the road on #9, then wedge close for another go at a birdie, which so far has eluded me . . . tho’ once I made a “virtual” birdie, after hooking my 2nd OB.
