Went to the range yesterday and worked on rotation. My swing historically has been very armsy so getting the feeling of turning back and through was a big help. Hit a lot of really good shots mostly concentrating on wedges with slower swings. Hit a few drivers and saw some success there as well. 

Hit the gym afterwards and had a really good workout. I changed to more of a mass building workout and am excited to see what gains I can make. Be back at it today.

I have decided to put my journey in a blog of sorts so I can get some feedback/accountability from this esteemed group. I have been a member here for a good amount of time but seem to come and go for

While I can't attest to your golf game, I have only been hitting the ball since Sept, but I can attest to quitting smoking and losing weight.  Both journey's are incredibly tough, but the rewards are

Went to the range today at Scottish Highlands in Salem NH. Worked on getting my chest turning away and then through the ball. Worked out well as shots had a little more distance and more consistent flights. Gained 20 yards with the few drivers I hit. They have a pretty good short game practice area so I spent a good half hour hitting chips and pitches. 

After the range I went to the gym for a back workout. Went well and I'm excited to move forward with this new workout program.

I’ve played Scottish Highlands many times. It was my league course and after I retired my go to course in MA/NH.

I've played there a bunch as well when I lived in MA. My brother lives in Derry so it was nice to go back there.

New workout program is going very well. Feels like I'm getting stronger especially in my legs which I do twice a week. Seem to be holding fairly steady with weight but at this point I'm trying to lose that remaining fat and get more fit. 

Haven't done much with golf the last couple of days but believe I'm playing both tomorrow and Sunday so I'll report the damage.

Played 9 yesterday at Hoodkroft in Derry, NH. Course is not super long but was in good shape and had fun playing with my brother. Shot a 46 with a double and a triple. 4 putted on 1 then used 14 putts the final 8. Lipped out a 30 footer on 9 which would have been a hell of a par save after taking a drop. Had my best day with the driver in a long time. Feel like the swing thought of moving my chest instead of my shoulders is paying off.

Did chest and shoulders today. I'm really enjoying how this mass building workout is getting me to feel so much stronger. I've gone up in weights on most lifts quicker than I have in previous workouts. While my goal is really to get more fit overall, lean muscle mass will go a long way towards reaching that. I really want to start the couch to 5k running program as well.  I had done that once many years ago and it just stripped fat off of me. Even losing close to 100 pounds the last couple of years, my belly is still soft and protruding a bit. 

Going to try and play 9 on Wednesday but a few things need to fall into place for that to happen. Hope I can continue the better ball striking I experienced my last time out. Details to come lol.

Another saga with no ending. I understand that life gets in the way of golf and golf blogging. A short post saying, “I stopped my journey” would at least signal that this trek has ended.

What a great looking club, how do you like them compared to Ping?

I've had the craziest last few months one could imagine. I'm not ready to go into it much but it hasn't been great. I will pick up at some point.

I love them. Depends on the Ping of course but I've hit a friend's i530's and like the feel of the Takomo 's better.

      Day 66: Played 18! Wasn't really keeping track of score, but guessing in the low 80s. Driving okay, iron play up and down, lagging putting really bad. Overall, it was good to get out and play.

      Day 12 (30 Jan 26) -  Had hoped the men’s group would be playing, but the cold temps and delayed opening kept them at bay. Spent some time on the range working on loading the trail foot on the backswing (focusing on loading the inner portion of the foot and collapsing the knee slightly toward the ball). Learned too much really brought on a left pull.  Easing back a bit, really helped compressing the ball and overall accuracy.  Took it to the course for a practice round, focusing on this small change.  Saw better dispersion across the bag….guess this will be part of the mirror work drills as snowpacolypse 2 hits eastern NC.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
