Now currently reading a few things. I'm about halfway through "The Bourne Identity" by Robert Ludlum. Always loved the movies but never read the book. The book is ... interesting. I'm 50 pages or so into "The Smartest Guys in the Room" about the Enron crash. And I'm about to start "The Arm" by Jeff Passan about Tommy John surgeries and other arm injuries in baseball. 

The Enron documentary just made me plain mad. Why.. why... why... why...

Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Pulitzer Prize winning author Katherin Boo.

I highly recommend this book examining the state of the slums in Mumbai, India through the eyes of the slumdwellers. Very sad. America thankfully doesn't know poverty like this.

Golf wise, I have been reading over my own golf note book. With the cooler weather now here, I am going to put some more time in for a better game next year. 

Non golf books I am reading now are on geology, and how wildlife interacts with their chosen enviroment. I will be hiking in a few different areas of geologic time, and knowing some of the "hows & whys" will be a good thing.

I used to be a one-book person, but the last few years I've ended up reading a few books at once. I keep In Cold Blood by Truman Capote and Zodiac Unmasked by Robert Graysmith in my backpack; I have The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum and Hamilton by Ron Chernow next to my bed; I have How We Got to Now by Steven Johnson on my treadmill; and I have Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian next to my couch.

Finished the Enron book sometime last year. It's funny that I've been in the process of reading Bourne Identity for like two years now. The book is fine, and I'm halfway through. It just gets lost in the shuffle. It's probably a good beach read that I could crank through in a weekend. And I never did start The Arm. (yet).

I finished the first two of the four in the above photo. Cannot put these books down. Having so much advanced knowledge of the characters now, I need to rewatch the first season of My Brilliant Friend. I see all the kids in a totally new light. Looking like I'll finish the next two books by the new year.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
