I went to hit a bucket of balls yesterday

(golf balls on the range) I had shoulder surgery in Jan 2018. I was told not to hit golf balls for a while until my shoulder stopped hurting. Yesterday was the first time it didn't hurt. I got myself all set and then managed to spray (hook which is when the ball slices tot he left) and the slice (where the ball heads to the right) I hit 100 balls. Not a single one in a straight line. How was your day? Do anything outdoors?

Better to hit a bucket than kick the bucket.

Shank enough and you’ll kick the bucket. And the trees, the ground, the signs, the golf cart, and anything else that’s around.

i know how that goes when you can;t do something (or do it as well) as before some other thing stopped you from being able to do it. I used to love to bowl, but now I have trouble with it with my back problems. It is what it is.

@DocAndersen I always enjoyed bowling. Never really got into the league thing. But finding a weekend with some open lanes was always a good time.

Only to be expected if you've not hit a ball for 18 months. Maybe you should take up a gentler sport like croquet or rugby. (Only joking, of course. Croquet can get rougher than you think.)

Golf is said to be a royal game And here you need to pay a big amount until one can play a golf. And happy you got a chance to hit 100 balls. I do play outdoor games. We had a team and we used to play near our houses. Now since all got jobs and their week offs are at different days we hardly meet now. I had a good issue free day. Thanks for asking... Note : Please edit the year I dont want others to get scared after seeing the year you had surgery. It is a typo

You'll get your aim back. It may take a while. At least you got out and did it. Was that supposed to be January 2018?

Fifty guys are furious with you.... Not much. A little too hot for me. I’m resting up for the State Fair later this week.

ROFL the place was empty thank god. One of the twins went with me "I thought you were supposed to hit them in a straight line, he asked. I almost made him walk home.
