And maybe @Vinsk can offer his thoughts, but maybe we will see more online consultations with doctors for routine things. 

I think this will definitely bring more awareness to telemedicine. Technology will improve as to being able to do more thorough assessments via telecommunication.

I wonder how the charities the PGA Tour donates to each week are making out.

I still have a crush on Elizabeth Montgomery!

Dude, I can’t remember her ever being “not hot” either!!

Crime is down, in general.  The website in my city that provides jail bookings is down to about 3 or 4 per day, from the usual 15-20.  I guess even criminals are staying in place.  These are interesting times.

For me, working from home has been great.  No commute obviously, not that mine was so long before, but zero minutes beats 30.  And instead of walking to the gas station and getting a snack when it’s time for a break, I go outside and play some street hockey with the kids.

And we are being better with our food too.

What recipes?   Always looking for anything quick and easy.    

We did curbside grocery pickup for the first time too!    I'm becoming an older millennial!

 

One was Orange Chicken and another was stuffed bell peppers. I'll have to ask my wife where she found them but it was online from the same source I believe.

We've been using it a lot, and the crock pot as well. Make big meals and have plenty of leftovers. Made Italian beef in the crock pot today. I might have grabbed a different chuck roast had I been in the store myself but with this pickup thing you have to just go with the flow. Those kids at the store are doing yeoman's work.

My old but trusty bag is filled with clubs I built...Integra SoooLong 450 10.5°, Jackaroo II 13* 16* 23*  hybrids, Dynacraft irons and wedges...plus a sweet Tad Moore Peach putter.

My carry out order at a local chain restaurant was prepared promptly and correctly.

We haven't eaten out as much (had gotten into a bad habit) and saved that money. People are hopefully getting into a better habit of washing their hands...lol (we will find out once the restaurants open back up). My 401k should be even better when the stock prices come back seeing as how I am buying more for the same money now.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Personally, it is a massive thing I've been able to continue to work. Other than that it gets thinner fast.

I guess not having hockey means going to bed earlier than I would otherwise, so I'm better rested.

The COVID 19 practice thread is going to help a lot of us improve this year.

I think that our standards for cleaning and sanitizing in all work environments will be permanently changed. Hopefully we will build new habits of washing our hands thoroughly and coughing/sneezing into our arms instead of our hands. We will also start implementing more touch free technology (automatic doors, hand dryers, etc.). All of this will help prevent the spread of cold, flu and other germs in the future. Handshakes will become a thing of the past.

Finally, there has been some funny 💩 posted as people have WAY too much time one their hands.

Thankfully, my wife is a seashell hoarder. Anyone know how to use them?

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
