Aiming too high

Today I went to the driving range. Which is where you hit golf balls as far as you can, not anything to do with driving. My initial aim on seeing the range was to hit the 200 yard sign. After a few shots, I lowered that target to 100 yards. I never even managed that. Turns out there's more skill required to it than I thought. And my hands hurt a bit, I was holding the club too tightly I think. And hitting the ground instead of the ball a bit and generally probably making lots of errors. Also in today's adventures I smashed a jar of beetroot across the kitchen floor. It's a good job purples my favourite colour.
