This Saturday I played golf at Coyote Run Golf Course in Flossmoor, Illinois, a suburb about 30 miles away from where we live. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to go 18 holes so soon after surgery, but it didn't seem to be a big problem. I was a little sore the next day, but not much, and all in all I think it helped me to get my range of motion closer to where it was before the surgery. I have been golfing with a group of 4-8 women who get together every couple of weeks and play a different course in the Chicago area. They're a good group to play with and by the end of the season I should have a pretty good sense of the public courses in this area.
This course was pretty flat, but also fairly long. The greens were amazingly quick, especially since there had been several inches of rain that had fallen in the area earlier in the week. I won't be sharing what I shot this particular round, but I did have a couple of pars and birdies, along with some very serious disasters. If they were giving a prize for inconsistency, I would have won on Saturday. But the main thing is, I was able to get out there and complete the round. That felt really good!
