Finding Golf Package Vacation Adventures

0 Comments | Rating: 0 | |

The humdrum of work and living has taken its toll on me in the past few months. I know I am not a young girl anymore and most of the time I have a jaded view on things. I am suffering from what could simply be labeled as ennui. It has been observed by my friends before I even noticed it myself.

I usually hang out with Cara, one of the committee on the Human Resources Department in the company I'm working with at the moment. Then there is Melody, a trainee for the secretarial position to one of the managers in another division. We usually hang out on weekends checking out the latest hubs and generally have a long round of fun.

I didn't notice that they have been observing a lot of times of withdrawal from the conversations more and more. My friends being the concerned citizens that they are had decided that I need to find a new hobby. They pooled together and arranged a golf package vacation for me. I got talked into taking it and had the reminder to, 'Have fun!' I appreciate all their effort. I really do, but I do not share any enthusiasm for the game.

I went to that adventure package they have arranged for me with nary an idea how it will turn out. My guess is right on the mark. I was horrible at it. I was swinging the club like mad until another player took pity on me or perhaps has gotten tired of seeing the ball either on the same position as before or moving a few feet at a snail's space. I got a lot of pointers from this player. I spent what seemed like an eternity getting my form just so and improving my swings to hit the ball and let it fly as far and as high as possible. I came out of the weekend unscathed but it left me unsatisfied with the outcome. 'I could have done better!' or 'I need to correct that.'

That vacation sure has changed my life. My competitive spirit has gotten a rise at that one wild weekend, literally, for all the wild swings that I made. They read me right after all. It seems they had found me a new mountain to climb. It is a good thing. It has gotten rid me of the boredom that has been slowly killing me.

I made arrangements for a membership in one of those golf courses not far away from my place of residence. It would serve me well on weekends where I could spend long hours getting things mastered on the golf course. I have been getting a lot of workout going from tee to tee. But that is just a side benefit. What turns me on is developing the skill to play the game well. I am afraid that I am the type of person who is not able to enjoy anything fully until I am confident that I am proficient at it. I go all out when it comes to any activity I tackle. The goal this time is to enjoy myself on the course and be damned good while I'm at it.
