I am retired in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  I took up golf a quarter century ago, have been away from the game for the last six years or so, and am six weeks back into a resumption.  Lots of range time and practice rounds so far.  Years ago there was a Taylormade commercial with this guy in plus-fours with a Scots accent (I think the golfnow people may have recycled him), and he proclaims 'find your swing.'  Right now I can't even find my game, my less my swing.

I am a guest house owner in a small tourist town in South Africa. Which gives me time to practice and play my golf.

I retired too...so I could spend more time writing and painting.  And now maybe I'll have more time to practice and improve my golf game, although my martial arts practice can get the way of my golf practice.  I spent 40 years in the planning and design profession, the last 20 years was spend helping Mike Keiser bring Bandon Dunes into reality.  Now when I go down there I have time to play golf rather than simply work, work, work.  The last time I was at the resort I spent some time on the Punchbowl--the resort's putting course--and it improved my putting game.  Plus playing with a golf buddy, we turned it into an interesting game...check it out if you find yourself on the West Coast.

I'm a recruiter for an online ecommerce store similar to Amazon in the Chicago area.  Love what I do, but wish I had more time to golf!

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
