I took up golf when I was 23. I had played some rounds at a pitch and putt as a kid, but I didn't really get hooked on the game until I was already finished with college and engaged in post-graduate studies. It seemed I was always scrounging for time to play. Like most of us, I was hooked quickly and wanted to be a good golfer - a scratch. That made it seem like I needed even MORE time. In his autobiography, Jack Nicklaus describes his early to mid-teen years as a virtual gluttony of golf: enti
We learned this week that the Fox Network has severed ties with Greg Norman, who served as the network's lead analyst for their broadcast of the 2015 US Open. This news prompted me to think about golf broadcasting and sports broadcasting in general. I think it is time for a change. But before we get to that, I think it's a good idea to look at how much better sports and golf broadcasting is today, compared to how it was just a few short decades ago.
I grew up watching sports in the 1970s. T
Pretty much spot on. I like it because it allows for a wide range of movements that are unique to the golfer to allow them to feel athletic.

3. Pretty good
Quick update. Foot felt better than in forever today. Came home and did a full treadmill workout, ok, it was beginner level, slow and virtually no incline, but I did it.
For the first time in ages I hit all of my FitBit goals.
Only time I felt any discomfort was while on a decline.

let’s hope I do not pay for it tomorrow.
Well, I got insanely busy and fell behind on my Evolvr & 5 minute daily practice in less that 2 weeks. I even skipped my 1st week of league, that has never happened. I need to be more disciplined!
Therapist this morning decided to try something new. He added some kinesiology tape on the foot & ankle. That was about 8 am. By 10am I was feeling a whole lot less pain. 😀
Met with the surgeon earlier today and he is happy and does not want to see me again unless I think something is wrong. He said the pain is normal and will go away in time but cautioned it could be another 6 months or so. He said he still sees inflammation and that may take another 6 months to go away as well. He did give me some things to share with PT which should help.
Now that I know to expect the inflation to last a while I need to figure out the golf shoes. Maybe by a duplicate o
Short update, still working on getting back into the full swing of golf (pun intended). I'm now posting to My Swing page and 5-minute daily practice and will post more on the Stack Speed Training thread as that gets going so this thread my not include a lot of "Golf" but I am getting back into it.
I have my 1st two golf trips in just over a month, First is Garland Resort then the TST Outing in Ohio and I really hoping my foot is up to a lot of golf. I have 5 rounds in 7 days and I'm looki
