CURRENT SINGLE: “We Didn’t Have Much”
Justin Moore loves to golf, but a few months into the pandemic, he hadn’t been golfing because he felt guilty going to hang out with his buddies for half a day, leaving his wife at home with the kids, which he does when he’s touring. A year into the pandemic, we figured Justin’s wife Kate would be so eager to get him out of the house, since she’s not used to having him around all day, every day, that she would have insisted he go golfing, just to get him out of the house, but Justin says, “I have not golfed yet, and I don’t really know why, to be honest with ya.”
Kate has a children’s clothing store that she’s been working at a lot, and Justin’s been staying busy with his podcast and taking care of the honey-do list at home and on his property. But part of his lack of desire to golf may have to do with what a lot of us are dealing with – pandemic burnout and fatigue, dealing with the mental exhaustion of not having a lot of answers about the future, anxiety or depression about the lack of normalcy for such an extended period of time. “I don’t know,” says Justin. “It’s weird. I’m just not in the mindset. So I’m probably depressed too, to be honest with ya. And golf is something I do because it relaxes me. But, I don’t know, I feel like I’d go out there and shoot about 150 right now or somethin’, cause I’d be thinkin’ about 30 other things while I’m tryin’ to make a putt.”
Fortunately for Justin and all of us, with millions of people getting vaccinated every day, a return to some type of normalcy may be coming soon, including Justin getting out on the golf course when he’s touring, which is what he usually does, so he doesn’t get home off the road and then disappear to go play golf.
Justin Moore – out of house pandemic :35
“I have not golfed yet, and I don’t really know why, to be honest with ya. She’s been working a lot with her store … and a lot more than me. But we put a podcast together that is now, finally, becoming successful. And I’m always out fixin’ something at the house or on our property, or whatever. And I don’t know. It’s weird. I’m just not in the mindset. So, I’m probably depressed too, to be honest with ya. And golf is something I do because it relaxes me. But, I don’t know I feel like I’d go out there and shoot about 150 right now or somethin’, cause I’d be thinkin’ about 30 other things while I’m tryin’ to make a putt.”
