Day 104 (14 Aug 24) -  NO big birthday round for me (yes, I turned 65 today), instead just some solid wedge work in the backyard this afternoon after mowing the grass (always the most fun when it comes to pitch/chip work on fresh cut grass). Anyway - worked with the 54 and ball positions.  Popping the ball up for soft landings, easy rolls to flighting down for more spin and stop.

I may not hit the ball far, but at least I find all of the pretty flowers.

Day 105 (15 Aug 24) - Backyard pitches with the grandson today.  Nothing too serious just relaxed shots and granddad to grandson chit chat - love those moments as they are priceless.

Day 651, August 15, 2024

Played… 11 holes (back nine and then 10, 12 again). Hit some bombs. More solid shots. Two shanks, which is a good sign of over-doing one of my things.

Day 652, August 16, 2024

Played nine holes at a new course. Hit some very good shots, some weird ones. But driving eight hours and hopping out to play isn't necessarily awesome. 😄

Day 218 - More backswing work. Struggling on the course with some of the new feels, which doesn’t bode well for the tournaments I have lined up this weekend.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Could have been but not for sure. Felt a slight knee 'click' during a ski run down the slope in late December but didn't think much of it at that time. Didn't feel right for a few weeks so went to the doctor, got an MRI in late Jan, which revealed the damage. Seems like a cocktail of ligament/cartilage possible long term degeneration and some new tears. Throw in some tibial over-calcification for garnish. Interestingly there was never much pain/swelling, etc for anything catastrophic. Just didn't feel 100% stable with some bone clicking doing couple of mundane things.  I'm feeling pretty strong and stable now but docs order to not test the knee for a while while I'm doing some PT. Have some major travel coming up in March so will get another MRI in April to reassess further treatment if required. In the least have some interesting times ahead of me.

      Checking in. Haven't posted in a while since haven't done much this year and not sure I will for a while. Nursing partially torn ACL and meniscus on the left knee since late December and trying my best to avoid surgery for now. May not be any golf for me for a bit. Of course, I did pick a good time to get benched.
