Strangely enough, when I moved to Texas for a couple years not too long ago I wasn't bothered by being away from my family.... Sometimes I think about that and it bothers me now that it didn't bother me then... Truth be told, though, most days I just work and go home anyway so I don't really see my family much outside of the holidays so that probably is a major reason.

I was (failing at) attempting to tease Shane, in the way that people might break out the good scotch after their weird uncle leaves…

I see family every day. Work for the family. Take care of certain things that I'm uniquely capable of. Leaving isn't an option. Not to sound whist-full about it. I've lived away and generally like it here. Winter tries my patience more than it used to, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Our family is actually driving us crazy. We moved back here when our daughter was born 18.5 years ago so that the kids could grow up seeing their family. Now it's time to blow this joint. Angie's Mom has landed herself back in the hospital on 1/4 after letting a diabetic ulcer get out of control. She had her leg amputated, and now won't do what the doctors are instructing her. She will be back in before long (she gets out tomorrow) to have her other foot amputated. The wife is at wits end and we never see my family much anyway. My daughter is settled in to school and my son is eager to move.  C'est La Vie Dayton!

 

p.s. - As much as it sounds like we are running away from our problems, this is really about finding a better opportunity. The job really sucks under the new ownership, and there just is nothing here.

- Shane

Who's going out this weekend? @saevel25@Jeremie Boop@mcanadiens@missitnoonan

With 16-20+ mph winds I'll probably have to pass.

That's today. Tomorrow should be more tame, at least down here.

I just looked before responding, dayton shows 16 mph and up here it shows 21. Of course if it changes I may have to reconsider.

That's typical for this time of year though, so I wouldn't consider it high.

Down to one day off per week and that day is tomorrow. Definitely going to play.

One thing. Eagle is a roaring bitch in any kind of wind. I'm thinking Community.

Glad we tee'd off earlier. The crowd was behind us and we made it around in about 3.5 hours skipping the last 4holes. We would have made it faster if not for a really slow foursome that we caught up to.

Last time played in 2015 was 12/24 and first time out in 2016 was 2/20 making it less than a 2 month winter break. Not bad. Shot a 41 on the front with a double on the first hole. As I said, we skipped the last 4 holes, but I was 1 over for the 5 holes we played on the back (2 bogeys and and a birdie). Too bad I missed the eagle putt on 14. The greens and fairways were REALLY shaggy, but it was good to get out.

I've been out a few times over the winter, but it was like day one yesterday. Horrible. Couldn't hit a thing that wasn't on a tee.

Time to put Humpty back together again.

I went to my club fitting yesterday. I hit way too many golf balls. Today, even though it is nice out, is a day of rest now. 

Though from the GC2, my miss right now is a slight push. Which compared to my snap hook or big block slice is a big improvement for me. Just got to keep trudging along.

Who do you go to?

I've got a borrowed 3W that I've got to get out of my bag. Trying to decide how much money I can blow on it.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
