Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course... The distance between your ears - - - Bobby Jones

I add one more sentence to that... Unfortunately, my home course is filled with a lot of hazards. :-)

Mangled but:

"Golf is a frustrating effort to hit an illusive sphere into an even more illusive hole, with implements ill-designed for the purpose"

This has been attributed to several including Churchill, but I am not certain of the original author.

Here's a new one from Tom Brady when asked if Donald Trump cheats at golf:

"Nah," Brady said. "He just -- he doesn't lose. He just doesn't lose."

Someone once told me "you could be a really good player if you'd get your head out of your ass and ask for help".  Years later I listened.  

Otherwise, anything from Tin Cup, I love that movie.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
