O-For Weekends

It's not the first and it'll not be the last...
Headed into the weekend full of anticipation.
Canadian Open, Senior British Open, or own
Club Championships, and the Jays on a roll -
playing the worst team in the Majors....Oh boy !
So...Mike Weir played well, but not well enough
to break the spell and become the first Canadian
to win our Open in 54 years...Anthony Kim, my
pick heading into the final day faded in the Oakville
sun...well at least he didn't drown in an Oakville
monsoon...
John Cooke managed to mismanage his three stroke
lead on the final 9 to miss out winning the Senior
British Open...
and the Jays with the chance to sweep the lowly Seattle
Mariners dressed like the pre-Cito Blue Jays Sunday
and lost 5-1...time to start another winning streak...
I'm a big beleiver in that old "never give up" attitude.
But sometimes even the right attitude isn't enough...
Heavy sigh....Disappointment is part of the game.
I went into round two of Oakfield's Club Championship
having put together a couple of weeks of pretty respectable
golf ( for me ). Saturday I messed up the front nine due to
some ( three of them ) pretty questionable shots off the tee...
But I hit the ball well otherwise and that was enough of a
base from which to rally.
I was really quite pleased with being even par on the back...
Sunday it just wasn't there....no excuses...loose swings,
lack of concentration...after 9 holes it was clear - there
would be no magic...there is a fine line between playing well
and a round that rips your heart out....the line I drew
was thick and bold and the result ugly..ugly..ugly...
Funny game golf...some days diamonds - some days -
well - something a little less precious...and when all is said
and done - when they write the history of the world this
weekend will bearly get a mention...as a matter of fact -
my weekend didn't even make this morning's paper...
Could it be that worse things happened ?
This morning I woke up with a smile on my face and
another rally lingering somewhere not too very far
away...
Happy Trials...
