oh man, this is a really trying time for the Mickelson family (been there). I hope everything works out for the best.

That's terrible! All my prayers and thought go out to the Mickelson family!

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

Is breast cancer genetic? I know his wife and mother aren't related by blood, but I wonder if it means his kids have to be super on the lookout for this sort of thing.

Of course, I feel bad for his mother with this new information. I hope both Mary and Amy caught it early enough that they may treat it.

Yes and yes, they may be predisposed to the condition.

This is really sad, and almost unbelievable. Right after Amy's surgery, his Mom now has to have it done. Our best wishes and prayers to the entire family.

When it rains it pours ... luckily this family has the best of medical treatment available to it. Breast cancer is one of the more dangerous cancers and far too many die from it simply because they didn't have average medical care.

I know Phil's golf game isn't too important in light of all this, but I think he'll have a renewed perspective when this is done with, and will be even better.

      First - glad to see these popping up again. Now to the topic at hand - I would rather be option 1.  If I know how far it's going (I mean a yard or two) I can always play to the wider parts of the fairway and/or the green and still do reasonably well.  Now if I could just really hit the "number" that well.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 25) - Long day of driving to dr appt with son.  Thankfully got in one of my fave putting drills (two ball side by side) - the goal to have both balls come off the putter face equally by having them come off the putter face as close to the same time as possible.  First few rolls - the toe was leading the way as that ball flew off the face.  By the end of the drill both balls were basically equal off the face, rolling to within a couple of inches of each other.  Nice drill of focusing on squaring the face.  BTW - I was using the old Odyssey DF992.

      Day 161 - 2025-03-10 Got a decent, long session in. Focused mostly on the backswing feels, and moved on toward the end of the four hours (not all hitting balls, I installed a motion sensing light switch in there too, and worked with a student over FaceTime for a bit) on the downswing feel.
