Really has me bummed out. I'm getting my hip replaced in November and have been trying to play through it. The past 6 weeks my scores have gone from low 80's to mid 90's as my swing gets worse and worse. So I'm done till the spring, this will be my longest golf drought in 25 years.....already going through withdrawal. Trying to decide if going to the practice green to chip and putt will help or make it worse....

Just looking for a place to whine....lol.

Never use a paragraph when a sentence will do.

Make it your goal to emerge from this layoff the best putter in the whole world. I should think you'd also be able to practice chipping. Who knows? Not being able to use your lower body might actually help in that dept. Next spring your full swing will come back pretty quick and you'll have fun taking all your buddys' money with your awesome short game.

    • 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.
