In the "Core Performance Golf" book by Mark Verstegen, they talk about regeneration of the muscles, that is usually massages.. In there they have trigger point massages with a tennis ball. Well i decided to give it a shot today since my back and neck was tight from sleeping awkwardly. I would have to say, amazing, just amazing..

for the neck, i basically laid on my back, but you can probably do this sitting down. I took the tennis ball in one hand and basically moved it around just below were the skull turns under at the top of the neck. See the image in the link for a better graphic. I had neck pain in the base of my neck, massaging the upper location relieved that pain. Usually stiff muscles and sore backs (not from working out) are usually caused by the main nerve for that location firing. Like if you have a sciaitic nerve problem you will feel numbness  down your leg. Most people would think its the issue with the side of the leg, but its the nerve above it.

For 50% of back issues,  This location is were the lower part of the rib cage meets the spine, just below it. You will definetly know when you hit this point because you feel the pressure big time. I was shocked, i had to stop from how intense the sensation was when i hit that trigger point. What i did was basically just used my body weight to massage that point. Laying on the ground.

For the other 50%, when i said most of the time back pain is caused by whats above it, sometimes back pain can be instability in the gluts as well.. This point is just bellow the back, its the highest point on the glut.

This is for those who have sciatic nerve problems,

Just incase you get cramps in the arch of your foot, try this before the round to loosen up that arch, you can do this with a golf ball, but the harder the ball the deeper the massage.

      High Schooler Shoots 60?!?

      I mean, looking at the leaderboard, several other kids shot in the 60s. No? Miles Russell is a high school kid. He made the cut on the KFT as a freshman.

      High Schooler Shoots 60?!?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      "This video features a roundtable discussion hosted by Michigan Golf Live regarding a controversial high school golf score of 60 (11 under par) recently posted by a student at Anchor Bay High School. Key Discussion Points: The Controversy: The score has generated significant skepticism among the golfing community, with viewers and industry experts debating its legitimacy. The host notes that despite multiple invitations, the Anchor Bay coach declined to join the program to discuss the round (5:38). Historical Context: Guests, including former coach Rob McIntyre and rules official Terry Kildday, reflect on a 2018 controversy involving the same schools, where suspiciously low regional scores were not replicated at state finals, causing significant frustration for competing teams like Rochester Adams (10:40, 13:10). Scrutiny of Scorekeeping: The panel emphasizes that the modern IWR (I Wanna Maker) app system, while helpful, lacks the accountability of traditional walking scorers. There is a consensus among the guests that high school golf often lacks rigorous rule enforcement, leaving too much room for "creative" scorekeeping or simple misunderstandings of the rules (24:48, 54:43). Probability vs. Talent: While the guests acknowledge the possibility of a "round of a lifetime," they point to statistical probability tools suggesting such a score for a typical high school player is mathematically extreme (7:43, 31:32). Conclusion: The participants generally agree that while they wish to celebrate exceptional youth athletic achievements, the lack of transparency, verification, and willingness from the involved parties to address questions makes it difficult to definitively endorse the record. The conversation serves as a broader call for higher standards, better education on the rules of golf, and more proactive oversight in high school tournaments to "protect the field" (1:02:22)." I was curious about the statical improbability, so I asked it to go more into that part. I know the USGA has probabilities, but that takes into account the differential.  "The host explains that they utilized a mobile app designed to analyze the statistical probability of golf scores to evaluate the 11-under-par round. (6:15 - 6:26) Because the student had no established scoring record (with only a single posted score of 83), the team ran several hypothetical scenarios through the app's filter: 15 Handicap: The app determined the score was practically impossible. (7:13 - 7:16) 5 Handicap: Testing the score for a 5 handicap yielded the same outcome as the 15 handicap. (7:20- 7:26) Scratch Golfer: When they ran the calculation for a scratch golfer—someone who should theoretically be capable of playing at a high level—the app estimated that such a person would shoot an 11-under-par round only once every 5,214 years. (7:30 - 7:53)"
