They just announce that golf courses in Michigan can remain open.   We just need some good weather now.  32° forecast for Saturday.

I played disc golf again today.   Lost but had fun.    Playing again tomorrow before the rain comes in.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Thank you for demonstrating how utterly ridiculous your position and the position of far too many is on this.

We'll put you soundly in the "not a fan of science or math" group.

You are not following the guidelines as you are not keeping the recommended distance apart. You can support them other ways. If just one of you gets it, someone they contact could die. How would you feel then?

So if ball hits the cup that’s considered holed? Curious what the raised cup looks like.

Bill, I think it's a joke.  My dad used to check the obituaries every morning to see if he was still alive.

Mandated.

I bet that not many on this forum have maintained a 6 foot distance separation from all people all day.  Nor will they.

Once we acknowledge what, of all this, is silliness, we’ll be a step closer to actually getting people to follow guidelines that are realistically achievable.

Lately I've been getting into day trading options. There have been some wild swings in the market lately.

Plus I have been playing A LOT of NHL 20 on Xbox with my friends. 

The indoor golf facility I go to has remained opened so I still go there on my lunch breaks but they have reduced the number of open bays to keep under 10 people in the facility at all times and they sanitize each bay after every session.

To my friends who are debating not staying safe in this crisis,  please reconsider.  Whatever our disagreements, I like you and want you to stick around.  

As for me... gym closed, so I'm taking walks and thinking I should do some biking.  I might turn that into "jump around the back yard" or something if I find out I should not go for the walks or bikings.  If the golf courses close, which they probably will, it'll be a lot of indoor practice and backyard speed sticks, plus whatever exercise, with the goal of being better at golf when the time comes.  If only I could figure out how to get a workable evolvr video in my indoor golf room.

I also have the queue of books to read, so maybe when I next get to watch a live NHL game, I'll know what's happening.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
