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

I guess I need to sell my clubs and take up water skiing.  Same level of activity according to this chart, but much cooler.   I need a magazine to tell me what is cool so I can do it.  As well as make sure to buy the $1000 sweaters and jeans that are in every issue.   I don't need to eat.  I need to look cool and do cool activities.

Na, just get as many credit cards as possible and rack up tons of high interest debt.  Avoiding bankruptcy is for chumps.

I can promise you water skiing is much more strenuous than playing golf. As far as the $1000 sweaters and jeans, I can't comment on. [VIDEO]https://youtu.be/PMdba6f_cho[/VIDEO]

You mean getting pulled around by a boat is less than taking a 12 on a long, uphill par 5 when walking? I mean that Fonzie guy made it look so effortless.

Bocci ball is actually pretty awesome.

One is constant resistance at 35mph on every muscle in your body, the other is a leisurely walk in a "park". Go water skiing one afternoon. The next day you will be sore in places you didn't know you had muscles in.

IMHO, single ski is old-school, therefore cool.  Wakeboarding is douchey.  Play your music too loud so that the whole lake will stop what they are doing to watch you biff.  Epitome of douche.  Using the word "biff", that's pretty douchey.   Also, any game where it's shirts vs. skins.  The skins are nearly always douche.  Oh, +2 that GQ subscribers = douche.

I agree on all points. If you want to be double douchey, you can put neon lights around your massive boat speakers.

Probably so. Did you watch the video? I bet hers were sore the next day.

Her calf muscles probably flipped the rest of her the bird and refused to get it of bed the next day.

    • 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.
