Battling Through A Blurry Patch

 

Battling Through a Blurry Patch

Since Friday, things have been a little tougher. My eyesight has taken a hit, and as a diabetic, I know exactly why. My blood sugars were running high for quite a while, and now that I’m finally getting them under control, my body’s reacting. One of the side effects can be blurry vision, and from what I’ve read (and felt), it could last anywhere from a day to a couple of months.

Looking back, that probably explains a lot about my performances last week. I’ve tried practicing, but it’s been difficult to focus — literally. Even so, I managed to hit a 50 average in practice last night against a bot, so there are still positives to take.

It’s a bit frustrating because this Wednesday’s Under-55 Average Tournament looks very winnable. A few of the big names aren’t playing, and it’s a great opportunity. Whether my eyes will let me take it, though, is another question.

Still, it is was it is.  I’ll keep pushing through, stay patient, and trust that when this phase passes, things will clear up. Maybe both literally and metaphorically. Once that happens, I’ll be in a much better place to kick on and keep improving.

Key Takeaway

Resilience and patience are just as important as practice — sometimes the biggest challenges aren’t on the board, but within ourselves.
