the real question is, Golf or sex?

I pity the woman (or man) who poses that question to his/her golfing spouse.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Obsession and addiction are the perfect descriptors for my feelings towards golf.


The only thing I'm passionate about is my girlfriend.







Ok....and golf....

The answer to that question can be answered this way. After which are you immediately thinking about what you will do next time? After which can you decied to play again with almost no recovery time? Afte which do you spend 30 minutes rehashing the experience over the beverage of your choice? BF Skinner should have invented Golf, it fits almost any defination of operant conditoning I could think of. Really only a women can make you as crazy.

I play Saturday and Sunday, sometimes 2 rounds on both days.
I go to the range 3 times a week.
I scrub my clubs before every round.
I buy 4 different Golf magazines a month.
I watch all 4 rounds of both the European and PGA tours every week.
I play Tiger Woods on the xbox, Wii Sport Golf, and Links 2003 (!) on the PC.
My Room is full of books like 'The illustrated history of the Ryder cup' and 'The Science of Golf'.
Most of my iPhone apps are Golf related and my laptop is full of swing videos, instruction videos and the official, 211 page R & A 'Rules of Golf'.

I'm not sure any of those words cover it.
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

      My Swing (Zeph)

      By iacas ·

      Welcome back! Evolvr.com? I don't use the full extreme end of it, and that's probably dipped to 75% or so nowadays. But I use the sole more than I don't, yeah. Also… it's good to learn this shot: Middle up. Not generally outside your feet in either direction. I generally have it slightly forward of center, yeah. Short version: tip your upper body in the direction of the slope. Look at the GC3. You can find them for really good prices sometimes.

      Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.

      Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.

      Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
