This brought me out of the woodwork. LIV Signs Rick Shiels As Ambassador | MyGolfSpy For the past two weeks, Rick Shiels had been teasing an important announcement. Most followers of the YouTube content creator weren't exactly thrilled  

Day 126 - 2025-02-03 30 balls or so. A few at 185 yards. Most at about 160-165 (6I). Path was outward on all of them.

Day 13 (3 Feb 25) - long day with son’s ortho appt 2-1/2 hrs from home….got home this evening and wanted to get some time in, opted to roll some balls with Millie (the Odyssey AI One Seven T DB (way too long name)).  Started with lag putts to about 15’ (the max I can roll in the bedroom on carpet), trying to finish to within 2’ of the target cup (14 of 17); second drill used the putter cover as a “target cup” - set up balls (groups of 3) at varied distances from 4’ up to 8’ - hit the cover solid (make the putt), miss well it’s a missed putt (made 9, missed 8); last drill - stack the ladder - rolled the first to about 14’, then made successively shorter rolls trying gap anywhere 10-20”.  Had about 6 that lightly kissed the previous ball, but no rolls past….fun mix of work on distance control with the ol’ flat stick.

Agreed on the PT. Unlikely you have a serious injury. Most likely it's just from being tight/out of shape and then doing something athletic. Been there a million times, trust me. PT, light gym work 40 minutes a day really adds up over time. Plus I couldn't do what I do without the aid of my massage gun.  Dry needling can help unlock a lot of this as well, so don't forget about this option for some point down the road.   PS- For the last few years I've seen a DPT twice a week. It's expensive, but I've learned a few things: one of them is his mobilizations of tight areas around my back and pelvis has really helped. Seeing an actual therapist regularly for a few months is a big time advantage. Our bodies are like cars in that we do need to maintain them to a certain extent X amount of the time. I know you know all this already, I'm just reiterating stuff. Hope you're feeling better soon!

So, I haven't quit ...just taking a little winter siesta. I have been doing some Stack training and a little office carpet putting with the Pelz Putting Tutor. I'll see where I am in another 6 weeks or so and then maybe look for some instruction.
