Day 325; mirror work. Worked on improving the grip as well as some feels for the downswing. -
I'm more talking about maintenance schedules. There are fertile times in the year where our rough probably grows close to an inch a day. It is pretty easy to find your golf ball in 2" rough. It becomes a little more questionable to find it in 4" + rough. One guy at our course typically is on the rough mower and is able to make it through the course in maybe 2 1/2 days. If I catch a spot where he hasn't mowed it in 2 1/2 days, it is going to be tricker to find my ball. -

The Rules of Golf are not simple and whoever said they are is being disingenuous. Here are some examples: If a ball is "not found" in a penalty area but it is known or "virtually certain" that it is in a penalty area, is it not lost therefore penalty relief may be taken, which means either drop in the penalty area, or within two club lengths or take back on the line relief (if red penalty area) and it's a one stroke penalty?? Yet, the rough is not a penalty area, so even if you know it's somewhere in the rough it's just rough and not a penalty area so it's two strokes?? Is that logical? Now here's another thing. We have a lot of woods at our course and there are red stakes at most of the borders. So, the woods are therefore a penalty area, no? If you slice a banana-ball deep into the woods and it's not found, it's not just virtually certain it's in the woods, it's sure as shit it's in the woods, so again, you drop at the edge of the woods and it's a one stroke penalty. Yes? No? Maybe? There's also a rule somewhere, I believe, that says if a penalty area doesn't have a color marker, then it's considered a red penalty area. Again, what about the rough? The logic isn't quite there. It's hard to argue with those who just throw down a ball regardless of where the hell it went missing and they give themselves a one-stroke penalty. (Except for Out of Bounds...that's pretty clear-cut. with the new "Local Rule.") -
Day 253 - 2025-06-10 Got some good work done due to a cancellation from someone's kid getting hoof and mouth disease. Like it's the 1710s. (I kid, it's quite common among younger kids, somehow.) -
