Thanks 'Cipher' will check it out.

Always birdies and pars, Henry The room for improvement is vast that three lifetimes could be spent roaming the fairways,carving away at it, convinced that prefection lies just over the next rise. And that hope,perhaps,is the kindest bliss of all that golf bestows upon its devotees. - John Updike

@jbishop15 so far The Art of Fielding is great, but I had to put it on hold to finish Four Fish. I borrowed it from a friend and he wants it back. I learned about it (The Art of Fielding) from the Inside the PGA Tour with Roberto Castro. He has a website called all things that are good. He raves about this book, and if anyone is into music he has some great insights on his favorite record stores around the country. P.S. Finished LSW last week, and it was amazing. I will be posting a review shortly.

'Fielding' is really good. Glad you're reading it and are liking it. Might reread it, actually, now that I'm finally finished with 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'.

Just read The Captain about Jeter & The Breaks of the Game. TBOTG Is one of the best sports books I've ever read. Highly recommend it. The Captain is very good too.

I'll be starting John Irving's In One Person as soon as I finish the last few chapters of James Michener's Space. I've said this a million times on here, but I'll say it again, John Irving is one of the greatest novelists of all time. I think he's right up there in the same pantheon as Charles Dickens. I'm so happy to be rediscovering him in recent years. In my younger day's I read The World According to Garp, The Cider House Rules, A Prayer for Owen Meany and The Hotel New Hampshire so many times the covers fell off. Earlier in the year I read Until I find You for the first time and fell in love with his writing all over again. Every time I finish one of his novels I feel as though I've become a better person with a greater capacity to love. Seriously good shit! :-P

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Just started reading 'The Great Political Theories: From the French Revolution to Modern Times', edited by Michael Curtis.

Not sure how long its going to take me to get through, considering my senior year of college starts on Monday. But it'll get read one way or another.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Awesome read. Lots of information for a relatively short book.

Just finished Nixonland by Rick Perlstein and just got his follow-up, The Invisible Bridge. I'll get to that after I finish Wild Tales by Graham Nash.

      Day 292: light day today. Mirror work, working on getting my hips more open in the downswing.

      Day 135 (27 Apr 24) - played Bradford Creek today while waiting for the missus fly in from her extended visit with the grands.  Good day to stay focused as it was a hurry up (groups pressing from behind) and wait (groups taking their time ahead)…a good day to stay mentally in the game - play the shot and not get frustrated in the waiting…

      Day 122: 4/27/24 Supposed to be a Stack training day but I was beat after yard work today. Practiced chipping and putting at The Creek. The practice green is pretty slow but the session went well.

      Bo the Golfer's Golf Journey

      By Bo the Golfer ·

      Went to the range today and was cursing myself when I got there as I realized I forgot my phone. I added an earlier wrist hinge to the short backswing I was using last time practicing and ball strikes were really good for the most part. I'm heading back to Boston Thursday to see friends and family and have a couple of rounds planned so I'm hoping to keep this feeling.  Yesterday morning I weighed in at 232. My goal had been 230 but maybe now it's 220. I'll have to think about that. I feel so much better without the extra 90 lbs. from 2 years ago. Still a softl slightly less protruding belly so it might be time to go hard on eating better. Work in progress.
