Played with Bernie. Cold. 15mph wind to start. Consequently we decided to play the white tees. First time in a while. After a solid week off, played decently. Having some left hip issues now for the last month. Quite sore throughout the round. Worse by the back nine, but don't think it hurt my swing too much. Maybe a little.
Greens were frozen, as were tee boxes. Couldn't get a tee in the ground on most tees, without major effort. Sometimes taking over a minute to find a spot or work one in far enough. A few times I knew the height was not right, but I just hit anyway, with less than ideal results due to letting it get in my head. No terrible drives, just many that I am sure would have had better swings had I not been worried whether the ball was teed up too high or too low.
It was good to get back out there. Hope my hip doesn't get worse. Gonna play tomorrow and maybe Sunday and Monday too. I'll see how it feels before committing to 4 days in a row.
Advil before bed, for sure.
