Carry the hazard or layup? Carry!

As a side note, I grew up in and around Robinson, IL and my mom worked at the country club they used to have the Robinson Open at. Even if I don't win I'll still pick this book up, seems like a good story.

That also sounds like an episode of Cold Case.

I want to let everyone know I have been contacting the Publisher's Print Campaign Manager for the last week about when the books will ship.  She got back to me and let me know that, the books have not yet gone out but they will shortly.  She is still working with the author on the best/quickest way to get each of them a copy.

I will let all of you know once they’ve been shipped.  Sorry for the delay

      Went to the range yesterday and worked on rotation. My swing historically has been very armsy so getting the feeling of turning back and through was a big help. Hit a lot of really good shots mostly concentrating on wedges with slower swings. Hit a few drivers and saw some success there as well.  Hit the gym afterwards and had a really good workout. I changed to more of a mass building workout and am excited to see what gains I can make. Be back at it today.

      Dittoing the thoughts of Scott and Bill. Take care of what you ned to take care of, but taking care of yourself IS taking care of others, because you're not going to be able to do what you need to do, to be who you need to be, if you aren't taking care of yourself as well. It's not selfish in the slightest to do a little to look after your own well-being (physical and mental).
