Good things that are actually bad - Alex

On a Friday I am timetabled to finish my college day at 10:30 in the morning. Yesterday was no different. Come quarter to eleven I was at home, on the sofa, thinking about how to spend the coming hours. The very first thing I did was eat a gingerbread and have a cup of coffee whilst watching a show called "Fresh meat", seeing as a close to infinite amount of people have recommended the show to me I was under whelmed. Then I decided to eat my lunch, which at 11:30 may have been considered a little premature, still filled me up nicely. I then decided that it was time to get my pile of homework done, like the good student I am. Maths and physics were vanquished after just over an hour, although this is where the blog title comes into play. I ended up listening to The Corrs, now don't get me wrong, The Corrs are well sick. But the only problem is they aren't quite the type of "well sick" that is socially acceptable for me to listen to. Oh well, I guess it's only one way I'm turning middle-aged. BUT IT IS NOT. I did a round of golf. Well half of a round of golf. 9 holes at the local golf course and two hours later I can honestly say that I am a better man for it. How did I do? Well the par was 35 for the 9 holes, I got 32! 32 over par. Yeah it's not very good but don't hate me for it. I can promise you that some of my shots were actually good for an enthusiastic amateur. It just so happened that some (many) of my shots also terrible. The majority of my shots were terrible. So I took 77 shots, I'd estimate that I took 2 great shots, 10 good shots, 15 ok shots and then 30 bad shots and then 20 god awful shots. The problem with aforementioned "god awful shots" is that they tended to be directly after a bad shot and therefore out of a very tough lie. I am attempting to justify my dire performance. From a very tough lie it is very easy to mis-hit the ball and get yourself in an equally as poor lie. So whilst I was nearly half as good as average I got unlucky. With a bit of practise and the right alignment of the planets I could get 15 over par. Maybe even 20. One day you might find out how I do on my second round, if there's a second round.

Now I'm off to watch Manchester United hopefully DDEEEEEEESTROY Liverpool.
