Dear Jim:
I have finally concluded that the only thing that will save me is lessons with cameras..and lots of them. Not seeing things distorts your view of yourself. Let me explain how I came to this strategy.
When I look in the mirror every morning I see a full head of slightly greying hair. Haven’t lost a strand to my knowledge..ever.
Now you have to understand that for 10 years I have been successfully combing my hair without leaving the back sticking up. This technique was many years in the making and I have been quite happy with the result.
Trying on clothes in a changing room at the Mall yesterday I happened to look in to the mirror behind me on the ceiling and to my horror I noticed a huge bald spot on the back of my head. Not a thinning spot, an actual spot with zero hair on it.
No family member, friend or foe has ever even hinted at this. Wouldn’t you assume that someone would have sounded the alarm seeing this thing develop. I can tell you this didn’t happen overnight given the size and sheer horror of it.
My barber stopped holding a mirror for my assessment of her skills many years ago..who knew it was to keep me from discovering this developing blight on my sense of suaveness.?
No wonder my hair didn’t stick up in the back…it was Gone!
I swear I would have died thinking I had kept all my hair until yesterday at 2.05 pm, a time and day I will never forget. You need to see things!
I am going to need counselling to get over this, if it is at all possible.
At any rate, all to say that this is just a perfect example of why the Golf Pros haven't let me have a lesson with the camera. They know if I see what is really going on there I am going to either recoil in a violent manner and collapse or leave the club forever.
I want the truth and I want to see it up close and now, so get out the IMAX 3D camera and lets go.
The only thing holding me back is that it might be late in the season. My last game was a 108 on the blue! Impossible you say.
Well as you know the back 9 of our course has water on 6 holes. I have tried many different ball types and multiple brands. None of them will rise more than 6 inches above the water regardless of the club I hit it with. Hard to imagine but after every shot the ball does exactly the same thing.
Wedge through 4 wood produces the same trajectory and resulting splash down. Take 6 holes, take a maximum 8 and voila the answer as to how a 108 is possible.
Don’t give up on me yet I did hit 3 good shots during that bad round and they were spectacular. I’ve got it….just not much of it.
I will keep you posted.
Bill Meder
