Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I see he's a ProV1 kind of guy versus a ProV1x. Either that or they stamped it special with black numbers regardless of which ball it is.

POTUS golf challenge. Can you shoot your presidential number listing in 9? LBJ would have had to shoot par, pretty sure he had no interest in golf though.

He needs all the "spin" he can get. ;-)

At some point, they better be able to, or they should just take up another sport :-)

Ha ha. If I got one, I'd keep the box as a momento. Give some to friends.

At this point, they're pretty good if they shoot their listing number. Without mulligans :-O Or secret service "intervention".

It wouldn't matter, no one would shoot better than Kim Jong-il

His listing number is 0. Guy is basically self appointed. :-)

Maybe on a par 3; this guy is the worst president athlete we've had since William Howard Taft. Have you seen his swing? How about his free throws or throwing out a first pitch? Brutal.

You don't think he could out-drive FDR?

Good point but I bet FDR could have made 1 free throw out of 22 attempts so overall athletic ability, I'll go with FDR.

Just googled it, he made two! That is pretty bad, though. Sounds like his basketball game is in the gutter.

If I was stamping that logo, I'd leave the "TU" out.

    • 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.
