Golf.. Anyone?

My friend had just asked me if I were interested in another round of golf at the driving range tonite... I couldn't give him an immediate answer and said that I would consider...

Two weeks ago, after much persuasion and talking to, I finally caved in (see.. When it comes to sports, I am as unmovable as a boulder... or u can call that plain lazy) and agreed to try my hand at swinging the golf club...

"No harm trying", I thought to myself, and besides, this would add some spontaneity to my otherwise monotonous and somewhat unexciting life... So there i was all geared up with my closest possible golf attire, ready to hit some balls...

And a bucket of balls I did hit! Of course not all balls ended up flying in the air, some (err.. ok quite a few..) were rolling off the platform into the range... But I must say, the overall experience wasn't too bad, it definitely felt good to be able to hit a good shot. And my swing ain't that bad for a beginner too...!

However I might have to retract that 'no harm trying' statement - My body was terribly sore the following morning. Arms, shoulders and waist were aching so badly, that i didn't want to get out from bed... I guess the upside is that it had gradually subsided in just 2 days (yup, being the ever-unsporty person, i thought the soreness will last for a week...!)

So, this brings us to my question: Shall I go tonight? (Or rather shall I make the effort for more spontaneity in my life?)

For those who know me personally... I think you guys know the answer already...! To convert Jolll from a couch potato into a golfing enthusiast is akin to moving a great big boulder with your bare hands.

Thats not to say I will never ever play golf again.... Just perhaps another time lah...
