<p class="ql-block">昨天是这次行程的第二场球，也是我打球以来，第一次感受在狂风暴雨中，打球的欢乐与痛苦。当然，即便是痛苦，也是在欢乐中，享受着的痛苦。</p> <p class="ql-block">待很艰难的打完整场球之后，与多位打球的朋友分享这段经历，才发现不仅是我有这样的感受，原来就算是每一周都打一两场球的朋友们，也没经历过在这样的恶劣天气中打球。</p> <p class="ql-block">明明球是飞向左的，没想到空中的风向一吹，结果球落在右边长草里了。也有些球落在沙坑里，怎么打都无法把球打出来。</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">在这样的雨势渐大，风力强劲的情况下，还能“苦中作乐”，摆出各种姿势拍照留恋，这不是我的意愿，是与我一起打球的两位女性朋友提出的要求，不过这也说明了，我们都浸泡在欢乐之中。</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">而这样的欢乐，也许就只此这一次，因为尽管欢乐会继续，要在某个场景呈现同样的欢乐是不可能的。。</p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Yesterday was our 2nd round in this trip, and it was also the 1st time since I started playing golf that I experienced both the joy & the pain of playing in a raging storm. In any case, somehow this pain was a kind of enjoyment—suffering embraced within joy.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">After struggling through the entire round, I shared this experience with several fellow golfers & realized that it wasn’t just me who felt this way. Even those who play one or two rounds every week had never experienced playing in such bad weather.</p> <p class="ql-block">Some balls that were clearly flying to the left would suddenly be blown by the wind mid-air & end up landing in the raft on the right. Also, some balls landed in bunkers, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get them out.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">As the rain grew heavier & the wind stronger, we still found ways to "seek joy in hardship," striking various poses for photos to commemorate the moment. This wasn’t my idea—it was a request from the two female friends who were in the same flight with me. But this also showed that we were all immersed in joy.</p> <p class="ql-block">And this particular kind of joy may never happen again. Although joy will continue, it’s impossible to recreate that exact same scene & with that same emotions..</p>
