Bummer! I hope you got it running again (you never expressly said).
You just learned why you don't take the battery out of the car to have it
tested. A battery can have a short in one of it's cells, and it won't
show
up on a meter until you put a "load" on it.
I played today. It was awful. I'm getting so much arthritic pain in my
shoulders and back now (and I've just developed tendenitis in my left
elbow
and forearm to boot!), it's hard for me to get completely through the
ball,
and everything wants to go right (me being right-handed). I've also
started
hitting the big ball way before I hit the little ball way too often! Oh
well, you know the saying, "The worst day golfing is better than the best
day working" ;-)
All the best
