Got tired of white noise apps, made my own playlist.

Now thinking of getting a portable microphone to record places around the city and when traveling.

No driving range white noise? Or maybe New Yorkers "colorfully vocalize" too much about their wayward shots that it is no longer a soothing background?

Your phone is a portable microphone.

Yup, a couple of those in the playlist are via my smartphone, the mic isn't that great though, but good enough.

That's a great idea. Should have recorded the range when I went to the PGA Tour event. Will record the local range next time out. Should record a subway trip as well. 

Have also since added hiking backgrounds and a sports event stadium background. This list is getting really good. 

The irony of listening to white noise to drown out conversations at a cafe/cowork/library doesn't escape me.

What's wrong with quiet?

;-) 

Open air working environments suck. Can't think because people talking doing whatever. Must drown out. This is a fact of life of the modern working space. All those companies espousing modern workspace setups are just trying to squeeze as much money as they can given the space there is. They're not trying to help the typical office worker, they're making it worse.

Just try getting complete silence in a working environment if you don't have your own office door to close.

Believe you me, I want silence.

The list grows.

Added some PGA Tour range audio and now can listen to golf shots as white noise.

I'm not sure what this audio content is.Are you talking about the random people hitting golf balls? TV announcers ?

    • I'm getting in only two range sessions per week at most these days. I prioritize four gym days per week, mirror work, plus an option day for rest or the gym. It's more important for me to be fit than it is for me to be good at golf right now. That being said, each rep I make on the range is about as efficient as ever. My swing is working the best it ever has in my entire life. This is a slower 7-iron swing for me, but the sequencing is looking really good here. That is reflected in my scores too, which are low 80s these days, despite not playing as much as I know I need to to really progress.  Working on: early extension stuff, Penick's magic move, widening the right arm, pushing up with the lead leg, and finally, right side bending an appropriate amount post impact. The last six, seven month or so of core and leg training with my DPT, with a lot of dry needling, has really helped me swing this way. He's TPI certified too and I do the same routine he gives his tour players. Training with him is also training my golf swing IMO. It's insane the amount of work we've done on my left hip and lower back and I'm reaping the rewards now.  I re-upped for another year at PGA National too, so hopefully I can have some fun rounds this winter. Fingers crossed!   The Foreplay Good Good stuff was still up a day later. Pretty funny. I didn't go because I was watching football all day, but it would've been kinda cool to catch the opening tee shots.  I still do rehab twice a week and currently we're doing some work on minor neck and left wrist pain I've been having. Neither I consider serious, but these are just a couple of examples of the weekly grind I face in keeping myself in good shape and why I don't play a ton of golf, which for me, always makes my body weaker in various ways. Golf is exercise too, for twisting related stuff, but it also takes a toll on me in a negative way. Therefore, I always make a point to treat golf like the gym, with highly efficient reps at the appropriate "weight" with appropriate rest and reflection in between. My distances are solid tho. My median driver is probably 260 without trying. My slow 7-iron swing goes like 170. I'm much more concerned with sequencing, and anything that compromises that is a failure in my book, in terms of my long term development.  Anyway, clearly the swing isn't perfect. Bit too shallow going back, with a steepening move in transition, but I'm hitting the middle of the face at by far the highest rate I ever have. I get better every month it seems. It would not shock me at all if I hit like a 3.0 handicap or better at some point in the next year or two or three. Fingers crossed, guys. I know I need to get out there more in order to achieve that. Some future pieces I know I need to focus on more are arms/wrist related. My hackmotion sensor tells me to bow the wrist slightly from P5 onward. I know that's a big reason why I have a bleeder fade miss. Otherwise I keep the face square until that point. The only reason I don't really focus on this one is because it's simply too many thoughts to juggle and I want to get to P5 better with my body and arms first. I have to spend too much bandwidth on not early extending and throwing my arms out in the transition, especially with the longer clubs like 3-wood and driver.  Pretty darn excited though about my game these days. This is the lowest amount of dread I've ever felt over the ball, ever.
