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...

    • Sounds to me like you’re still swinging in and you’ve learned to close the face a little bit more than you used to.
    • I doubt Bryson cares about promoting LIV. Airing grievances with the PGAT on social media is more of a Greg Norman and Phil thing. Does he even really mention his team or whatever on his videos? I haven’t watched many of them but I don’t recall seeing that. He’s promoting his own brand (himself) with his social media.
    • Day 9:  hit a bucket at the range with my driver and did a little putting 
    • Yeah but then he effed it all up by going to LIV. If he didn't, I would be celebrating right now. But he chose to drink sheik juice.
    • A little refresher. here is an article about Bryson at the 2021 Ryder Cup. He was the "entertainer" then. "Wherever he went the crowd welcomed him like a Packer walking into an Oshkosh bar, and DeChambeau responded with nods and thumbs-up and cap-tips and shouts of “Let’s go!” On the sixth, when the crowd began to boo when he grabbed his 3-wood, Bryson loudly proclaimed, “Guys, I’m still going for the green, calm down,” which dialed the cheers back to 10. Spectacle recognizes spectacle, after all. On this afternoon, one would have had a hell of a time explaining to an outsider that he was the most divisive guy in golf."   Ryder Cup 2021: How Bryson DeChambeau won the week, and found redemption, after summer from hell | Golf News and Tour Information | Golf Digest No American had more questions entering the Ryder Cup than DeChambeau. By Sunday evening, he answered them all and looked, at long last, like he was enjoying golf again.
