More orange than I'm used to seeing in a golf course. Irish Open coming up. Just click on play, it'll open in a new window/tab.

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

That's cool. It would have been cooler if more of the course was visible (they seemed to focus on that par three).

The orange stuff is actually more yellow and is the gorse, yes?

The orange (or yellow, I agree that's more accurate) stuff is indeed gorse.  While its rather attractive when in bloom, gorse is a malevolent, evil, thorny shrub of immense strength and resilience.  Its thorns are incredibly sharp, and stick out well past the blossoms.  Can you tell I've hit a few balls into the gorse in my life??

Also called Furze on that side of the Irish Sea. Smells nice in bloom too - like coconut, but a large bush or patch is effectively a water hazard as far as I'm concerned.

    • 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.
