After an extended absence due to work and a long and painful back injury rehabilitation, I'm officially back in the swing of things and hope to contribute to TST as best I can.

For those that remember me, it's good to be back. For those I don't know yet, I hope this is the beginning of a long and potentially aggravating relationship.

So, how's it going?

PS - I played my first round after a six month injury-induced layoff last week. Shot a 68 on the front nine, and stopped keeping score on the back. I did manage to birdie a short par 4 though. I guestimate I ended up shoot about a 120. Pretty far from the 80's I was shooting before the injury.

Gotta love golf.

Good idea :)

Well, I can say right now I'm still in Physical Therapy... so it's a lot of stretches and a little resistance training in terms of overall fitness. The golf technique stuff I'm going to have to figure out as I go along. I know that I'm going to have to make some changes, as I don't know if I'll ever get my pre-injury range of motion back. Sadly, if I truly can't get back to where I was physically, equipment changes may be in my future as well...

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
