Tiger Woods said that in his opinion only Moe Norman and Lee Trevino 'owned their swings'.  Somehow you must learn to 'own your body' and resist the push and pull of society/commercial interests.  One school of food thought says for health we should eat 30 different foods each day.

Snickers, M/Ms , peanuts, corn chips...whatever you can name, are not evil, sinful or illegal even if foolish.. But why do they call us so loudly?

I fully agree that, unlike smoking which is totally optional in life, eating is fundamental.  Everyone must eat. The vast majority eat as mother showed us, just as we learned to speak as mother showed us. Sometimes mothers make mistakes and the kids learn poor life lessons. It's no crime. I learned from mom,  that sweet is GOOD. So today i am deeply tempted by the chocolate display at Walgreens. 'Thanks mom, but i'm gonna pass today.  Maybe tomorrow i will

have a Malt O Ball'

.

So to the OP, each day, each meal, each temptation will speak your name. What will be your response? One data point does not make a habit but moving your mind away from the habits of the past will open the window to a new and reflective outlook on food intake.

Hi. Just like you, I used to not be physically active, and was searching for answers to get my health back. I was happy with my golf game, but knew it could get much better if I were to make some better choices when it came to health. Well I decided to do something about it. A little over 2 1/2 years ago I weighed 270 pounds. I was miserable, lacked self discipline, and so many of areas of my life were affected because I was so overweight.

Here I am today. I have lost 85 pounds and am in the best shape of my life. I am now a scratch golfer and frequently shoot under par. I couldn't believe the difference health and fitness made in my golf game in such a short amount of time. Well now I'm trying to pay it forward to other people and golfers just like you.

P90X was my saving grace. It literally saved my life. To this day I have never counted a single calorie. I lost weight the old fashioned way. Hard work and better food choices. No fast food, only clean, wholesome, healthy meals.

Being a better golfer because of it is certainly a nice take away, but it literally changed every aspect of my life for the better. I am here to support and motivate people just like you to achieve the same fitness, health, and weight loss goals that I never thought were possible. It is possible, and I'm here to help.

good luck to you and hope to talk soon!!

keep em in the fairway,

Seth

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.

      Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
