Swing

On the range today

As a volunteer at the Whistler Golf Club, I’m entitled to unlimited free golf. I’m not sure if I can golf as much as I ski, but I will soon find out. I haven’t swung a golf club in almost two years. Today I spent an hour hitting golf balls. I will definitely feel it tomorrow.

I didn’t have my clubs with me – so I tried a variety of clubs – some that likely came from the lost and found. Regardless,  It was just like old times. I was happy with how I hit the ball – most went where I wanted them to go. One surprise was the Nike Slingshot iron (pictured above). This was the first time I tried Nike clubs and I was pleasantly surprised. The club seemed heavy, but it was rather effortless to get the ball into the air. I used to poo-poo on Nike clubs, but I guess I shouldn’t knock it until I’ve tried it.

I can’t wait to retrieve my clubs from Toronto and play a proper round with them. I’m not looking for new clubs; but I would like to try the rest of the Nike irons. It’s going to be a fun summer.
