Today my mind began to wonder towards the next tournament. We are presently in Bornholm, Denmark a small island with approximately 40,000 residents in the winter. To drive around the island is 60 miles and has 4 golf courses. But today it is 30° and snow covered. It would be a great place in the summertime to practice though.
Back to my mind wondering...
I think it's been good to take a break from golf. I guess this is like the off season for me as I am in forced exile with my clubs in Phoenix, me in Europe with snow and ice all around. I should do something 'Rockyesk' and run down a country road in snow boots and a heavy coat yelling something...golf appropriate.
It's interesting to take breaks. I've had a number of folks look surprised like I'm not allowed to rest and that I must always be in the midst of it all. It's not until you take a break that you realize how important and valuable they are. To much of a good thing is still to much!
It also shows me how much I love this silly little game and look forward to my return.
Here's a little picture from Alvor, Portugal near our qschool course.

PS. The knee seems to be healing fine. I arrive home February 25, just in time to prepare for a Champions Tour qualifier.

Actually, as you run down the snowy road, I think you'd have to WHISPER something, that would be more "golf appropriate" wouldn't it?
Rest, enjoy the moments and come back refreshed while at the same time leaving behind a trail of people who were refreshed by being with you!
Win-win!
I could practice my fist pump, or my 'last putt to win' vertical jump (if you can call it a vertical jump). I took a walk yesterday until my face starting falling off...the people are really cool here.
