Scenario:
1.  PERFECT GREENS
2.  TOTAL CONCENTRATION
3.  LADY WITH PERFECT STROKE
4.  MODERN GOLF BALL WITH DIMPLES DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM AIR TIME (ie: large )
5.  Ball placed on spot with a large dimple slighty askew to the line of the putt.
6.  In comes perfect stroke,  ball struck on edge of dimple,  ball auto adjusts orientation, then struck.
7.  Ball goes crooked.
8.  Player goes baffeled then beserk.
Proof of theory:
Attempt setting a golf ball down on a dot on a dead level and smooth surface.  Only if you place the ball, with the RIM of the down dimple parallel with the receiving surface will you be successful.
The above from a person who was unfortunate enough to find his life passion in the game of golf,  amputated leg, went on with life, finally at Hilton Head 1977 Seniors PGA became the first amputee to qualify on Monday and make the field.  Got a check for $ 1800.

    • Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…
    • Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.
    • Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!
    • Day 8 - 2025-12-27 45 minutes of short game work at local muni, mostly putting work. Trying to get lots of reps in with consistent quality tempo.
    • I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
