No. Been working 20+ OT hours. My golf has suffered.

If you're not playing golf... What's the purpose of having more money?

Pay bills and support your family. My son has strait A's and has become a great golfer. I can help pay for his future and become even better than me as I have with my father.

Could you make significantly more money if you played significantly less golf? ...

I have a decent job, but it entails a lot of miscellaneous duties which get in the way of a "second job." So, I could make a little more money by playing significantly less golf, but not a whole lot.

Besides actually playing golf, I like to get out into the green fairways and see the trees and the outdoors. Working additional money in my line of work would mean sitting in front of a computer even more than I do. I have had minor bouts with carpal tunnel syndrome from too much keyboarding, so I think the golf would help my overall work longevity more than increased keyboard time each week. Anyway, less golf means lower morale means lower productivity. So, I guess the answer for me is NO. Let's play golf...

If you really use all your free time that you use to golf then you'll be so miserable and old by the time you get to retire and use it you won't even want it anymore.

Enjoy life while your young.

I'm back in school getting my Masters, and I make it a point to at least go out a few times, whether its to the range to work on something or on a course. Reason being is that I feel that golf is my escape. Even as frustrating the game can be, I am one that keeps working on something. I just have me, my club, and the ball. It keeps me sane under my schedule of always studying or working.

    • On my trip at Bandon. I have a couple of best shots come to mind. I had kind of a stupidly good short game shot out of some nasty stuff. I didn't really make any bombs putting.  I could say any drive I hit straight that was hitting directly into the wind, lol. That was nasty. I literally hit a ball like 150 yards right. I am going with my drive on hole 18 at Old MacDonald. 469 yard par 4, down wind. The narrowest fairway on the course, and you have to navigate two sets of bunkers. I stripe one down the middle, catch the slope and have to roll out to about 95 yards to the pin. So yea, that 370-ish drive in the fairway on a 469 par 4 wins the shot of the week. 
    • Day 2: mirror work while watching some TV. Checking on some backswing stuff primarily - making sure I’m still steep enough in the backswing. 
    • Day 88 (28 Jul 25) - Short session this afternoon after a full day of yard work at the house.  Worked on setup and tempo thru the shot with the 52° wedge in the backyard.  Hit about 20 balls total - just staying focused on the process. 
    • Day 10: More putting with the metronome. Short putts feel really slow and long putts feel really fast. Getting more comfortable every day. 
    • Day 301 - 2025-07-28 Watched a lot of golf today at Fox Chapel, but then came home and did some mirror work. Re-dedicated. Which is saying something, as I've been playing okay. But relying on my athleticism to just do "okay."
