  • You are snow blowing and adjusting the shoot you consider it a low fade or high draw and you make considerations for the wind.
  • When you realize you are thinking about golfing while snow blowing you consider quitting your job and move your family to Flordia to golf more, even though you don't care for Flordia.
  • When you talk to someone about the posibility of new clubs, the next time they see you they also ask to see your new clubs and most of the time you can show them.

Just a few of my thoughts from this past weekend that I found amusing about my addiction.

On the day of your wedding, you get hit by someone else's full shot and hurt pretty badly... but finish the round anyway, refusing medical treatment -- and have to limp down the aisle in a haze. Oh, wait... this is no big deal; it is normal behavior, right?

-You have to lie about being at the golf course because people just don't understand how anyone could be there that much.

-You have to get a job at the golf course to support the habit.

-You give the golf course's number to people as your best daytime phone number

By the way I have done all three of these!

AMEN to that! It's really cold out here in OH. This morning it was like -20* and it was even worse yesterday morning! I can't take it anymore. I told my girlfriend and some of my family that I'm really considering buying a home in Southern Georgia or something. Maybe in Augusta?

I spend A LOT of time and money on my yard, landscaping, etc.. I get mad when my Pugs poop in my yard or if there's a blade of grass that's taller than the others, etc., BUT, I'll take my weed wacker and hack down a fairly large area just so that I can hit balls. Out of everything on T.V. and the thousands of movies out there, my T.V.'s are set on the Golf Channel 99% of the time, or the channel that the majors, etc., are on.

I second this one all the way.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      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.

      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.
