Be A Good Sport

Here’s how sometimes life throws you a curve: I don’t play golf, but I have “golfer’s elbow.”

That’s the way the ball bounces. You can’t win ‘em all.

I’m going to step up to the plate and not pull any punches and say: Someone dropped the ball in naming that condition. Whoever did so may talk a good game but didn’t keep their eye on the ball.

Perhaps by naming lateral epicondylitis as “tennis elbow,” they thought they hit a winner, knocked it out of the park, made a gutsy play, and were in a league of their own, but this time they missed a chip shot. A gimme. Couldn’t buy a basket. Made an unforced error.

Maybe there were off-field distractions.

To whoever tossed this misnomer: The ball’s in your court. You’re on the hot seat. So maintain your composure, get your head in the game, fire on all cylinders, and get back on track. Oh, and give 110%.

Stranger things have happened.
