I usually curl up in a ball an cry. I find that a dark room works best for this. I will also occasionally kick my dog and randomly scream at people on the street.

Actually I bowl every other Saturday from September to April and play in a upper level basketball league from December to March. This helps to feed my competitive fire.

I'm usually OK with the layoff for a while. It's when the Tour starts up again and they start getting into March that I really get the itch.

Our season in Michigan has really fluctuated recently. Last year I played in late November and the weather would have allowed rounds in December and possibly January if my schedule would have. There are some advantages to global warming. I'm sure we can put the polar ice caps to good use as they melt.

Haha!

For me, the winter isn't that bad. I work on my swing with my coach in a heated garage. But I can't play. Ex: I reserved a start yesterday for 9 o'clock. Unfortunately, I couldn't play 'till 12 o'clock because the ground was frozen... so I in the winter, I talk with other *&Y;?(&(* who live in FL and play all year long.

Cheers!

dude, your avatar is funnay!

I am gonna pay the cash and go to Chelea Piers. It ain't cheap, but they have heated stalls. The high cost per ball is a good incentive to go through the pre-shot routine EVERY TIME. . .

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
