Day 9: 6/29/2023:

Got out early and played a quick 18 in the haze.... Is the air quality bad? ... I don't know, but it doesn't look right. 

🤣 Have you seen any of the local news or weather lately?? Today is the worst the air quality has been in the last 20+ years...

Day 65 - Solid bit of putting practice focused on 3-5 footers, then worked on my priority piece and short iron distances. Pretty solid day overall.

Yeah, I saw that. I'm probably going to get some kind of lung cancer from playing today. Although, when I teed off it said the air quality index was 168 in Sunbury, not 220, like in Columbus. So, I got that going for me. 🤪

I'm sure it's not good for me. But it's difficult for me to gauge how bad it really is. I'm not sure I completely trust the media. Case in point. Last winter right before Christmas there were 2 or 3 super cold days. On one of them I was outside shoveling the driveway and the walk. Then I chatted with my neighbor for 15 minutes or so. By time I was done I had been outside for like an hour and a half. I came in and my wife told me the weather people were saying you need to stay indoors. That exposed skin would freeze and die within 5 minutes of exposure. I was wearing a sock hat, but nothing on my face. I felt fine and I'm pretty sure my skin didn't freeze or die. 💪

I feel like we sensationalize everything these days and it makes it hard to really trust the news media. 🤷‍♂️

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

We had an ocean breeze all day, which kept the air clear thankfully.

Our area is down to near 140 from the high 270s.  It has been difficult to spend too much time outside without your eyes watering. Several people locally have posted about the smoke smell.

I do not know the number but drove to Chicago on Wed an the skyline was very obscured and walking on the streets it smelled a little like a fire.  Thursday was better there, but still hazy.

I do not think the media is wrong on this one, the air quality is real bad in places.

Been putting off cutting the grass. 

Good news is the air is a little better today. 

Bad news is its going to be 91 with storms over the weekend and that means mowing is the priority today. 

Golf may not happen for a bit.

I finally got the lawn done yesterday, when the AQI (Air Quality Index) was down from "Very Unhealthy" to merely "Unhealthy."

Day-before-yesterday Detroit had the second worst air quality in the world.

It’s a bit better than today. At least I’m not smelling the burnt tree smell.

We had it bad at the beginning of the month for a couple of days. It looked like the apocalypse outside. It’s not terrible right now, just hazy out.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      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.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      By wacker · Posted

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
