When I'm on my death bed, I will definitely regret spending an hour of my life doing that.

LOL, I did include a disclaimer.

skiing is far easier.     Took me a couple years to be able to carve and keep my feet together (equivilent of working the ball in golf).      Obviously, at high levels, they are both very difficult, but you see alot of people skiing that would not be able to hit a golf ball.

Put  this way, I've been skiing 5 times, each time for 3-5 days, so we'll call that 20 days of skiing for 6 hours = 120 hours of skiing. On ski's I am able to go down most black diamonds I have come across, and can navigate through moguls pretty well.

I have been playing golf since I was 9 or 10, and play or practice about twice a week for the past 4 years and I have broken into the 70's four times and still have a 10-12 handicap.

Which do you think is easier? :)

    • Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.  
    • So, Newey is out at Red Bull. Where does he go in a year? Is Max still with RBR in 2026? Hmmmm.
    • August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!
    • Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.
    • Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.
