Hello! Broke 100 June 8 at Pine Springs, Tyler, TX. Score was 90, playing in a tournament with the rotator cuff/RA issues. (Day before, shot 95.) Could have been lower both days, I know, but pretty good for an old ma with a 25 GHIN. Thanks, -Marv  PS Have not finished LSW yet, but my course management thought was "Small Successes".

DRIVER: Cleveland 588 Altitude ( Matrix Radix Sv Graphite, A) IRONS: Mizuno JPX-800 HD Irons & 3,4,5 JPX Fli-Hi (Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue Graphite, R); WEDGES: (Carried as needed) Artisan Golf 46, 50, 53, 56 low bounce, 56 high bounce; PUTTER: Mizuno TP Mills 9

@iacas, it occurred to me I should have sent this to your attention. I have also broken 90 a couple of times after coming back to golf but that was about 2-3 years ago. Thanks, -Marv

@iacas Hello! Broke 100 June 8 at Pine Springs, Tyler, TX. Score was 90, playing in a tournament with the rotator cuff/RA issues. (Day before, June 7, shot 95.) This was the 5th time to play since Sept 2017. My thought for each shot was "Small Successes". It just stuck in my mind. Thanks, -Marv

Thank you @iacas ! I am using LSW to practice. With my age and injuries, I drive well but not long. I'm working on that plus "owning" the 2nd shot that, given the length of my drives, needs to be both longer and more consistently struck. Thanks again, -Marv

Finally broke 80 today (78 at Plum Creek in Co)

Came out of nowhere since I've been very inconsistent this year and my index had crept up 1.6

Also... with 2 unplayables, 2 three putts and a missed 3 footer I really felt like I left shots out there.

I also have an eagle I've never claimed

Broke 100 this morning with a 99.

Broke 90 this afternoon with an 86.

Got my first birdie.

 

Good day!

Always remember, the same country that invented golf and called it a game, invented bag pipes and called it music.

thanks

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
