That was honestly hilarious. And you know why? Because she's right. That marathon line sent me

If she grew up with baseball…there should be no complaints at all. 12 year olds spend more time with meaningless baseball games than prospective college football players do. She thinks one 7 hour day is a pain? Try 26-30hrs/week.

It’s because is not just a game, it’s an event, or maybe a lifestyle.  The driving range before the round and the beer after are like the tailgates before college football and the burning of sofas after the game.

My (late) wife became an avid golfer after the kids were grown. Best deal ever. Monthly dues bill came - paid without a glance. Random Amazon packages - probably for her. Shoot, she practically kept the local big box golf store in business with her clothing purchases. Come to think of it I wonder why wasn’t complaining. 
 

But thought the rant was hilarious.

Funny!  But, who asks their wife for permission so they "can" go play golf? It is a given at my home that I am playing pretty much every day. If there is something she wants/needs me to do, just tell me and not at the very last moment.  I quit asking permission to do anything once I became an adult.  Now...taking advice from me can be a bad thing for some.  I have been married 3 times but 30 years this time.

Oh brother. 🙂 If we take ourselves that seriously… the rant was hilarious.

Then again, I'll get home from a 7:00 tee time before 10:00 and my wife will ask "oh, that was fast, you played 18?"

    • Go get professional medical assistance.  I know we all hate going to the doctor. Without a proper diagnosis there is no way to recommend the correct procedures to alleviate the pain and it could be something that exercises might not even help out with.
    • Finally slowed it down Feels like 30-50%. trying to make it look slow mo on normal mode.  And I’m trying to not let my hands go out and tip the club inside at A2. Also trying to not just carry a closed clubface up to A3 because it’s easy to keep the club head outside the hands if I just keep it turned down. Opening the clubface feels similar to flinging the club head inside at A2.  Better downswing stuff with the arms I think. Then just a reward, full swing at the end I like the athletic motion here. Shift, turn, using the left leg better. Club still steepens and too much right arm bend. The key will be able to do the body turn stuff and arm stuff. Together I can’t disassociate right arm bend from twisting. If I use my arms, my turn and athleticism dies. If I concern on the other, my right elbow stays bent.  
    • He’s playing well after playing horribly in the first round. He was like seven under through 12 or 13 holes.
    • Ok, here's a perfect example of what I HATE about the announcers "worship" of certain players. Just now at the Player's Championship Justin Thomas makes a 15 foot put and the announcer says "now he goes from trying to make the cut to being in contention!" JT MADE THE PUTT TO GO TO 2 UNDER WHILE THE LEADERS ARE AT 11 UNDER! HOW THE HECK DOES THAT PUT HIM IN CONTENTION!!! Ok...rant over...sorry about that!
    • Have you made an assessment of your body dynamics and strength. I watch a lot of the myTPI videos and they are always analyzing upper body strength, core strength and lower body strength as well as mobility. Then they see if the player's swing utilizes their body strengths. They also talk about muscle strength and muscle speed and how they are not the same. So if you move your muscles fast enough you need to work on strength whereas if you're strong enough but your muscles don't move fast enough you need to concentrate on speed. Mobility, strength and speed is where i would start analyzing myself.  If you are experiencing back pain with speed training however I would suggest you may have a technique issue that needs to be addressed first before you really hurt yourself.
