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.

      Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow.

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
