Another false start?

Time to start anew again, starting this month, tonight, or may be Wednesday. Or Friday may be the good news day.

Any day, in fact, is a good day, so long as real lessons have been learned from the past.

Otherwise, that person risks repeating last month’s errors and come September, will be moaning again and writing August off as another false start.

We wish it would not be the case, though. We wish him good luck and hope that the month of August, this very month, will be a fruitful one, as fruitful as the month of August is for nature at large in the northern hemisphere, i.e. a harbinger of bumper harvests in September and October henceforth.

Anyways, here are real examples of “false start” in the news:

1. In this season of Tiger’s discontent Friday’s supposed breakthrough turned into just another false start.

At times this year, Tiger Woods has looked as if he’s about to round into form. Friday’s round, when he made seven birdies in his final 11 holes, was one of those times.

Come Saturday, though, all the old symptoms returned. Woods struck the ball reasonably well, but his short game and especially his putting, were woeful.

“I hit the ball well all day,” said Woods who ended up shooting 74. He’s seven back of Rory McIlroy, tied for ninth.

“That wasn’t the problem. I just made nothing. You take away the two three-putts there, the two unforced errors there and then make a few, it should have been a pretty good round.”
