If it's not one thing it's another. Doctor says the plantar fascia in right foot is partially torn,
along with being inflamed. Probably caused by too much walking with a tight (non-flexing) ankle
after surgery. No golf for 2-3 weeks. Crap.

Certain models of New Balance shoes are recommend to ease foot and
ankle problems.

So are golf carts. :-)

Heresy! I rode Wednesday, but the wet weather caused 'cart path only' play. I could go only nine
holes. But, they gave me a rain check for the other nine, so that's OK. I'll play if I can ride the
cart to the ball, but I won't be doing that long. I'll give her the three weeks.

I still end up walking a lot, even with the cart since I will bail
with a few clubs and hit the ball while the others contemplate their
shots or look for a lost ball. I don't spend a lot of time looking for
them. I just drop another one and hit it.
I am not sure why they were there but I found a trash can with about
200 balls in it down by the boat ramp and I am still hitting them. I
think it may have been a neighbor cleaning out the garage after her
hubby died. Most were premium balls with a bunch of Callaways, Nike
and Pro-Vs. Hubby was a ranger and he may have been getting them from
the greens keeper.
They are a nice find for the guys hitting behind me. It is not like
finding a Top Flight ;-)

I'd love to come across a find like that. Our local course (Greendale) doesn't have a driving range,
but it does have a lake next to #10. I put most of the found balls in my 'lake bag'. Then when I go
play I'll hit a half dozen or so into the lake, aiming for the water fountain.

I seldom use a cart. If I have to, I try to get the other person to drive and then do the same
thing. Grab a handfull of clubs and a putter and say, "See you on the green."

I used to spend most of my day "farther right" but old age, my various
arthritis and joint things has straightened out my drive. The last
time I played I spent most of the day in the fairway. I played 8 holes
with the same ball. Then I put 4 in the lake ;-)
A big part of it is I am not trying to kill the ball. I just use a
nice easy swing, not trying to put anything on it and I am still
getting out there 250 yards or more. I just concentrate on the club
face hitting the ball square and let the club do the work, nothing
fancy.

Can't wait for my drive to straighten out!

If it means anything, a little stiffness in my right knee did the
trick. Have someone hit you right in the patella tendon with a 9 iron
before you walk into the tee box. ;-)
