Just wanted to stop in and say hello and give a little background.  I lived on a golf course when I was a kid and never had any interest in it.  I spent most of the time at the pool.  When I got to high school I played with my friends a few times a week, but never took it seriously.  Then played in college on occasion, but when it came down to beer money or golfing money, BEER won!  Then life got in the way and I didn't golf for about ten years.

I just moved to NY two years ago from Colorado.  I was always doing some sort of sport.  I  payed adult rec league basketball, flag football and softball.  They don't have any of that stuff out here in NY, maybe in the city, but not out in the sticks!  So, since I didn't really know many people and I wanted to play something, I decided to start playing golf again.  Soon I realized I had a passion for it that I never had in the past.  I was never that good at golf, but I didn't think it would take a year to get my game to where it was when I left.

This last season my game improved leaps and bounds, which makes the game that much more fun!  I broke down and took a few lessons which greatly improved my game and I plan on taking lessons a couple of times a month next season.  I find myself thinking about golf whenever I have a free moment.  I'll think about how I would play certain shots differently, think about some of the awesome shots I've hit ect.

Anyway, I'm excited to join a community that appears to have many members as passionate about golf as I've become!

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
