My Happy Place

I am on vacation this week in Cocoa Beach, FL. We’re in an Airbnb right on the beach, the good kind that is. No sand wedge required.

So far today, we’ve walked about 3 miles on the beach and picked up a bunch of trash.

Why would we walk the beaches picking up trash on our vacation? I can’t stand to see task on the beach. The beer cans can be deadly to sea life too. It also gives me much needed exercise. I am also not thinking about servers or code.

What's the temp?  Forecast?  

Some rain came through, so it’s a bit chilly now. Still outside in a long sleeve shirt, but the natives are freezing. 🤣

It will be in the 70s most of the week.

We don't have a coastline where I live in central Europe but I must say the German people are very tidy. You would be verbally criticised for littering here.

Not so here. Some of the items I could have easily blown out of someone's hand accidentally. The shredded shoe is a mystery. The beer cans and water bottles we found are not such a mystery.

Germany was clearly less littered when I visited. Not to excuse anyone in the US but it could be a lot worse. Just look at some of the rivers absolutely filled with garbage in other parts of the world such as in New Deli

Back home and back to reality. On Wednesday there was a bad rip tide that churned up a lot of debris and washed it onto the beach. I was overwhelmed with the amount of trash. It was like the ocean was regurgitating the filth of humanity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
