yesterday, i took the day off with a friend and his dad and we played literally all day, from about 9:15 am until 4:30 pm. we were playing scramble and got in 36 holes, and we walked the whole way. we only took two or three 5 minute breaks the whole day, and i didn't really start feeling it until about the last four holes, but man, once i got home and sat down, my legs let me know just how displeased they were with all that. probably walked 10 miles (give or take a mile) doing all that, and carrying my clubs the whole way. then i had to turn around and immediately play a show with a band i'm in, and my amp weighs about a bloody ton, and moving it to the car-to the venue-out of the venue-back into the car-back into the house is a real ordeal. i got up this morning and it feels like every muscle in my body was destroyed at some point yesterday. i couldn't play golf today even if i wanted to, my body would just flat out refuse to make the motions.

on the plus side, though, i was playing with my old persimmon driver yesterday and reeled off several 275-280 yard drives that split the fairway. i was proud of myself.

You should have stretched a lot and drank a lot (of water or OJ) after the round. Lactic acid I think it's called will build up after a day of work like that. It will make it almost impossible to do anything the next day because your muscles are so tight.

...i got up this morning and it feels like every muscle in my body was destroyed at some point yesterday.

They

were , that's what working your muscles is . Next time... 1. Drink a lot of water. Before, during and after the rounds. 2. After the long day it's very important to eat good proteins and carbs. Fish/Chicken/Turkey and rice/whole wheat bread is far better for your body's recovery than a burger and a beer. I played 18 yesterday in the morning, and from 4-5pm I did 100 pullups and 100 pushups. I'm playing atleast 18 today. You've got to eat right and stay very hydrated. Golf is not a game, it's a sport.

Last tuesday I was very lucky...Tee'd up at Rooster Run in Petaluma t 7:30, walked 18, got done at 11:15, we grabbed a sandwhich, drove 25 minutes to Sonoma, played Sonoma Golf Club (home of charles schwab cup senior pga) and tee'd off at 1:10. Walked 18 and played from the pro tips, it was majestic. Holes 31-36 I went Par, Bogey, Par, Par, Birdie, Bogey (lipped a 2 footer haha) One of the best days of my life so far. Best thing, Rooster was free ( we know the guys there and I haved comped them at my course) and Sonoma only cost me $20 because my playing partner works there. 18 holes of above average and 18 holes of pro venue golf for $20 plus a $8 sandwhich. Im in heaven here guys. Im not bragging, I am in awe

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
