About this blog
I tried writing in a diary when I was younger, didn't last a week. I despised Gordon's rule in college classes. Why write about crap I don't care about and what I'll likely hardly use in real life.
I guess I never really appreciated anything I was supposed/forced to write about.
I can waste a 40hr work week reading and commenting on TST, so why not give blogging a chance. I can talk about golf goals, my swing progress, and my ultimate goal of winning my club championship and competing in an Arkansas State Golf Association tournament in 2016, without having to track down threads here and there. Seems the blogs get plenty of feedback as well.
So, I signed up for Evolvr. Posted some swing videos before Thanksgiving and got my "lesson" video back. Excited to try something different that the pros at my club don't really offer. Its hard to see the little things with the naked eye. I need to turn my hips more. Without even seeing my ball flight my instructor knew I hit it off the toe and created the gear effect and therefore creating my severe hooks. It only gets worse the longer the club gets. If its sunny and above 40* I'm going to be working on my swing. Lucky enough to have my office outside the gate of my country club, so I can put in a solid 40 mins a day 3x a week, on top of my 2-3 rounds of golf.
Maybe I'll keep this going...but I don't think Ill ever be expert that @mchepp is

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. I feel like I turned a corner, all thanks to my PT guy and some Kinesiology Tape. 😀 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

I feel I'm moving in the correct direction. Did a range session a couple days ago and had no pain after that. I started my Evolvr but will hold off on The Stack until I am more confident I can do "Maximum Effort" swings. Right now I feel I am swinging somewhat normally but I'm just not confident enough to push it yet. On The Stack, I really wish I had held off ordering a little and gotten the newer blue-tooth enabled measuring device instead of the PRGR Monitor but oh well. I'll live.
